Free Coffee
It was sunny with a high of 25. Perfect weather for handing out piping hot cups of coffee! A few weeks back, various students from OneU at Maryland spent the morning giving away coffee to all the unfortunate students who signed up for 8am Monday classes this semester. We think they were quite grateful.
“Thank you” and “Would you please stand outside my building every morning” were common refrains through many-a-chattering teeth. Our students woke up very early to make this happen and served with with lots of joy, despite early alarm clocks and freezing temps! I left the event with Jesus’ words ringing in my ears:
If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all. Mark 9:35
The result? Though our intent was simply to serve students and not necessarily invite them out to any OneU event, several students asked about OneU and expressed interest in joining a Bible study discussion group. One girl even reconnected with some friends back at Covenant Life who had shared the gospel with her in the past! We serve such an awesome God!
