Around the Walls of Doane: Day 1

There was excitment in me as I stepped onto Doane College tonight. Earlier in the day I received an email from one of our student leaders at Doane, that went out to a number of students on the campus. I would like to share the vision of that email with you.

Have you noticed walls on our campus? No silly not the walls of your dorm room that are slowly closing in on you. The walls we are talking about are walls between people and their relationships. We've noticed them too.
Here's what we are going to do. We are going to step out in faith and follow the model of Joshua and the Israelites in Joshua 6 and ask God in faith to bring those walls down.
Here's what that means for you. Campus Crusade is inviting you to step out with us. We are inviting you to walk around campus in prayer with us. Starting tonight for the next six nights we ask you to meet us at the bell tower at 7:30pm to walk around campus once in prayer. Then Saturday at 9:30 A.M. we will walk around seven times just as Joshua and the Isrealites did shouting praises at the end of the walk.
So here's the break down. God literally crumbled the walls at Jericho. Surely, he is just as powerful today. We would love for you to come and step out in faith with us for just one night or all seven.

These students are truly trusting God to bring down walls on their campus, and inviting others to join them in that faith step. And this is only the beginning.

As I made my way to the bell tower where I was to meet Kristin, our student president, I noticed a stone side built into the side of the tower we were to meet at. One the stone it stated "We Build on Christ". What a moment of affirmation for me. Tonight, seven students joined me on my walk around campus. Imagine what God can do with seven students who are full of faith.
