Vega\nBaja, a small coastal town in northern Puerto Rico, sees thousands of locals\nand tourists flock to its beautiful beaches every year. Some go to enjoy the\nwildlife and scenery, others the water sports and swimming. But last weekend, 20\nABU Puerto Rico students arrived in Vega Baja for a very different reason: they\nwere there to look at the Bible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

During their annual retreat, in a rented beach house by the sea, the students used the IFES resource The Word Among Us<\/a><\/em> to dig into Scripture. They wanted to trace God\u2019s big story through the Bible and see how it fits with our story today, and particularly how it relates to our involvement in society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Many of the group members are activists. They\u2019re involved\nwith other university societies and causes \u2013 political, environmental and human\nrights-related. During the retreat the students spent time wrestling with big\nquestions, asking themselves what it looks like to engage with the reality of their\nsociety with a biblical worldview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Join us in praying for them:<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
  • Thank God for the fellowship, teaching and good\ndiscussions the students enjoyed. Pray that they would continue to dig into\nScripture throughout the year.<\/li>
  • Pray that the students would be actively\ninvolved in campus life and societies with a Christian mind, as Christ\u2019s\nambassadors.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":9334,"template":"","area":[460,638],"theme":[9],"class_list":["post-9332","prayerline","type-prayerline","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","area-latin-america","area-puerto-rico","theme-engaging-the-university"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPuerto Rico: Engaging the university as Christ\u2019s ambassadors · IFES Prayerline<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Vega Baja, a small coastal town in northern Puerto Rico, sees thousands of locals and tourists flock to its beautiful beaches every year.
