A New Year Begins
Josh, in one week thousands of freshman in London will start the next chapter of their lives as they begin college. Although these students will be studying a wide variety of subjects, they all share more in common than they could imagine. Each of these 18 year olds were created in the image of God and therefore have the same internal longings of the heart. They are searching for purpose and meaning in life. They all want to be happy. They all want to be a part of a community where they are known and loved. Ultimately, all of these desires can be met in a relationship with God through His son Jesus Christ. As Christians we have the solution, the cure if you will, for their biggest problem, separation from God. Would you join with me in praying for the students we will meet this year? Would you pray that their eyes would be opened by the Spirit to see Jesus as Lord? We are trusting God to do the impossible this year, to bring spiritual life to the dead (Ephesians 2:1-9). These freshman think they are going to college to get an education so that they can get a good job and be successful in life. What if they found something better? What if they found the very thing they were created for? A relationship with God welling up to eternal life (John 4:14).
Key Dates to Pray for
September 21 - Move-in day at the nearby student accommodations
September 23-27 - Welcome Week at City University
CO Europe Network Conference
The last week of August all of the Campus Outreach teams in the UK gathered for staff training! In the last six years God has sent out four different teams to locations in Europe. Birmingham in 2018, London in 2020, Edinburgh in 2023, and Athens in 2023. It is such an encouragement to see all that God has done in a relatively short amount of time. At the conference we were able to share meals together, sing praise songs, hear teaching from God's word, plan for the upcoming year, and have a lot of fun together!
Highlights From Our Time In The US
We were able to spend time in Arkansas and Indiana during the months of July and August. Here are a few highlights from our time.
Our New Address
We moved! Praise God that He provided a four bedroom flat for our family that is closer to the church and campus. Our new address is:
Flat 1
169 Central Street
London EC1V 8BS
England
Grace United, thank you for the role that you are playing in our lives and ministry! We thank God for you.

- Reconnecting with so many of our dear friends and family this summer. You all are an encouragement to us!
- Celebrating my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Both of my sisters and their families met in Arkansas for a weekend to be together and celebrate.
- Going fishing with Mandy's dad and mom at the White River in Arkansas. The kids loved it and caught a lot of fish!
- Seeing God provide needed financial support. He provided $1600 in new monthly support. Praise God for his provision! We are still raising $400 in new monthly support to be fully funded.
