"They said I was deep!"

"They said I was deep" Isamel excitedly told me as he recounted his first Bible study of the semester. Ismael is a new leader at Houston Community College-Central campus and led his very first Bible study this past Tuesday. Ismael went on to share how his group discussed if Jesus really ever said he was God, from an article on the web http://www.mydestino.com/trutharticle5.html and at times the discussion got heated. But in the end, students left understanding that Jesus is God and Ismael was blessed as he lead. Ismael is one of several students in the Houston area leading an ethnic movement. He leads Destino- a movement specifically focusing on reaching Latino/a students with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Destino's mission is to raise up a generation of leaders from the Hispanic and Latino community to fulfill the Great Commission on the campus, in the community, and throughout the world. We want to reach EVERY student at HCC with the gospel, but are starting with the Hispanics. As Ismael, another crusade staff Jesslyn, and I talked we shared our vision of seeing multiple movements of students in different majors, ethnic groups, and other affinity groups happening on campus so that EVERY student knows someone who truly follows Jesus. Please pray for Ismael as he leads- pray that he'll have wisdom, and that we'll find a few more leaders to share the load with him.
