What God is doing through AFC’s at the University of Texas
Since 2002 campus ministries at the University of Texas have been uniting to, as our vision statement says, “see a viable Christian community in every college, club, residence, and culture at UT. Ministries have worked together to equip their students to lead what we call “Authentic Faith Communities (AFCs),” which are small missional communities embedded within a dorm, fraternity, ethnic group, apartment complex, college, sports team, or club. While the movement has grown since its inception four years ago (from 20 to 40 to 80 to 100), we have never seen God move as he has during the last six weeks of the semester. During “Rez Week,” a week of united worship, prayer, and outreach that we do each year, God led over two hundred students to commit to reach a specific community on campus. Neil Cole and Jaeson Ma were our guest speakers during the week, and God used them to give students a greater heart for the lost and greater faith that God can use them to literally make disciples of the entire UT campus. Since Rez Week students have been more active than ever in prayer for the lost. Many are praying in groups every day for the friends in their communities that are far from God. Some are actually going out into their lost communities to pray for people, and we have even witnessed a few healings. More than ever students are getting over their fears and sharing their faith with their friends. Many seekers are now engaging in investigative Bible studies with their friends, including several Muslim students - one of which put her faith in Christ last week. What is really great is that no one ministry is doing it. Students from many different ministries that happen to be in the same dorm, social network, or college are uniting to lead the AFCs. Many campus ministers have said this is the most they have ever seen God move on campus, and the ministers have been meeting to plan an entire coaching system for next year – one that empowers students who are seeing fruit to multiply their lives by coaching students who are new to the movement. We have already calendared a few dates in the fall to bring Jaeson ma back for extensive training of these leaders and we have set four dates for united prayer and story telling. We believe the best is yet to come!
