The most unreached countries in the world are getting increasingly difficult for us to send missionaries, but it’s these very countries that are sending their best and brightest students to study, right here in the U.S.  At the University of Florida, there are 6,000 international students, most of whom are from the most spiritually needy places in the world.  RUF-I seeks to welcome these students through genuine friendship and hospitality, and in this context begin to explore the Gospel with them.  We do these things through monthly events such as our Labor Day picnic and upcoming Christmas party, as well as through weekly small groups where we share a meal, have a time of discussion from the Bible, and do some games.  We have the privilege of reaching the nations, right here in Gainesville!

Prayer Requests:
1. Please be praying for us these next three weeks as it feels a little crazy putting together three larger events for students here at the end of the semester.  
2. Pray that the Lord would use these things to work in the lives of these students, and that He would be drawing students to himself.  
3. Pray  for wisdom in planning for future growth and what the Lord desires that to look like.
