Tonight was an epic night in Fire history. The fire is a non-denominational worship service held every Monday night in the student center. It is a really great way for students to come together and praise God. In collaboration with campus ministry, it is mostly just a student run prayer group that has evolved into a campus tradition. Every Monday about forty students gather in the student center for a few praise and worship songs followed by a mind melting message from a preacher that works at First Presbyterian Church here in San Antonio. Tonight a new preacher spoke for the first time, and it was a great experience. Having a fresh face on the team is igniting a flame that will hopefully spread through the ministry. In fact, these student leaders are actually going to be heading to Colorado in a couple of weeks for a student ministry conference. The fire just started as a small gathering to praise God, and it has grown to provide so many more opportunities for students. Even if you can’t raise the money, they are always happy to take college kids on retreats and there are even summer missionary positions offered for us. I am excited to see where this new pastor will take the Fire and the doors that will be opened in the following semester.
