Jesus was in the room tonight!

Tonight we had a worship service instead of the usual study hall. It was definitely a welcomed change, and we prayed that the students would feel closer to God, and to us as well. We had the opportunity to pray over each student individually. It took about an hour to pray over each of my 39 students, but it was worth it in so many ways. First of all, God gave me a deeper love as I prayed for each kid, even the ones I have had conflict with. Secondly, the kids could see how much we love them, but more importantly how much God loves them. There were quite a few tears, which is VERY unlike the Korean culture. Even a few boys were crying. Since this school is an expensive school, many of the students are not actually Christians. While I prayed rapidly in English (Koreans pray quickly and loudly), I hoped that they would somehow understand what I was saying. For most of them I just prayed that God would protect them from evil, make them leaders, use their talents, and just guide them. I kept praying over and over for protection. I don't really know why, but many people have mentioned that they feel like there is a lot of spiritual warfare here at GVCS. I have seen it in the way my students fall asleep every day, constantly get hurt or ill, and more. After the service was over, two boys accepted Christ which was seriously so amazing to see. I've led people to Christ before, but there is nothing like spending 8 hours a day with a kid for three weeks, praying for him every day, and then seeing God work miracles in him all in one hour. I am still in awe of what God has done here tonight. Please be praying for strength and wisdom and steadfastness for these two students who made public confessions of faith, and for other students who are either still thinking about it, or just need a little spiritual encouragement.
