Student Accepts Christ in the Northeast!

I received this email from Jon Imaio, a staff member at Rochester Insitute of Technology (RIT) in upstate New York. RIT has one of the largest number of deaf students enrolled in the country. Throughout my time in Boston, I was able to attend some of RIT Campus Crusade meetings and meet their involved deaf students. It was amazing to watch them worship, as they were signing all the words, which made a beautiful and passionate dance. This is what Jon shared with me:

An involved student, Auzy HAS started a Deaf Christian club. He and some other Deaf students started it at the end of last year. There are about 30 members. On Wednesday they had an outreach event and a Deaf girl ended up receiving Christ! Bonnie Bastian was actually there and wrote me a really encouraging email about it. Here it is:

I finally made it to a Deaf Christian Club event last night. They hosted an Open House and planned to play some games and share 2 testimonies. By the end of the night, I think about 10 students volunteered to also share their life stories in front of the group, including one young lady who confessed she hasn’t accepted Christ yet but was currently struggling with the idea of how God could love her. By the end of the night, she was all smiles and had prayed to receive Christ! I was in awe of the openness of the students and how the Lord moved in that room. Sooo awesome. :) Thought you might like this update!

Please pray for Bonnie and for deaf students at RIT to continue to SEEK and KNOW our Lord!
