From April 2-6, BCM passed out 300 hundred origami bunnies. Each bunny was a different color, below is their meaning:

Black ~ Romans 3:23

The black bunny stands for sin. The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of God’s perfect standard. That is the “Bad News!” Everyone is guilty of sin and must pay for their sin! It also is effective to compare the black to darkness, and talk about what it is like to be lost in the dark, unable to find your way. The same is true of spiritual darkness. Without God, we stumble our way through life struggling to find the Way. We need salvation!

Red ~ John 3:16

The red bunny stands for the blood of Jesus (I John 1:7) which was shed for our salvation. In I Cor. 15:3,4 it says that “Christ died for our sins, that He was buried and that He was raised to life three days later.” He died to take our place, and rose again to prove His power over death! It is through faith in Jesus and through acceptance of His gift of salvation that man is saved and through nothing else. (Eph. 2:8-9) Jesus offers the salvation we need!

White ~ John 1:13

The white bunny stands for the cleansing of salvation. Once we accept Christ, we become a new creation! (II Cor. 5:17) God saves us instantly through our faith in Christ. He washes away all of our sin and makes us white as snow before Him! (Psalm 51:7; Isaiah 1:18) This is the promise of God, that He will forgive us all our sins! Also, if you talked about spiritual darkness on the black bunny, the white can be used as light, or the spiritual sight we are granted once we are saved.

Yellow ~ Rev. 21:18,21

The yellow bunny stands for heaven. Jesus has gone to prepare a wonderful place for those who choose to accept Him. (John 14:1-3)

Green ~ II Peter 3:18

The green bunny stands for the Christian’s need to GROW IN HIS NEW LIFE! Plants need three basic things to grow: Sunshine, rain and good soil. Well, for a Christian, his sunshine is prayer with the Son. His rain is the nourishment of God’s Word, and his soil is the healthy fellowship with other believers in the faith. All three of these must be present in the life of a believer in order for him to live a truly victorious life.

The hope is that as you read about them you come to accept Jesus as your personal savior.

Here is a prayer to say if you feel you are ready: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and am lost without You. Please forgive me! I believe you sent Jesus to die for me, and that He rose again! I ask Jesus to come into my life and transform me into the person You want me to be. Help me to live for You! Thank You for forgiving me! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

 General Update

It has been awhile since I last wrote a newsletter about BCM at LCCC.  During the past two years, it has been difficult to give my full attention to all that is needed for the campus ministry.  Between working a full time job outside of ministry and family commitments, there is little time left for ministry. As part of a new calendar year, I have decided to prioritize a monthly newsletter.

Without further delay, here is the first one.

 Snack Table

It is BCM’s fourth semester hosting a small snack table for students. Last semester, it was moved from outside the campus library to the Student Lounge.  This change has increased our exposure and visibility on campus.  It is setup for three days each week. Every time it is setup there are different students stopping by and asking questions. For example a student named Forest, came by and asked about our Bible study on “What Christians Believe?”  He seemed interesting in coming one week.

Occasionally, we set out a deck of Soularium cards.  This is a collection of fifty pictures on them with five questions that can be used to start a conversation about Jesus.  This semester, I have led three people through it. Each of them was able to express their thoughts about God and shared some of their life stories.  Please pray for students to stop by and learn about Jesus.

 Mission Service Corp

Come March 15, the North American Mission Board will be looking at my application to serve as a Mission Service Corp

Aaron, David and Emily at the Greeley Model Train Museum

Missionary (MSC).  It is a service provided by NAMB to help missionaries be self funded by raising support. For us, it will provide my wife and I the opportunity to raise both prayer and financial support to continue to do ministry at LCCC. In the coming newsletters, I will share more about the MSC program

Our decision to pursue MSC comes from our struggle of the past two years. During this time, I have worked over fifty plus hours outside of BCM.  This has proven unhealthy for both me and my family.  In reaction to the overwhelming stress of work, we have decided that we need to trust God to provide our income and to allow us to accomplish His call in our lives.

Melody and I continue to feel God’s call to reaching LCCC through BCM.  We both recognize our current finances do not allow us to be on campus as much as we need to.  Please pray that we can quickly raise the support we need to be full time on campus.  In the coming months, we will be asking many of you to help us achieve our goals.

Today a group from the Church of God was on campus.  They setup and table and talked with students.

Sadly, their views differ from that of traditional Christianity. Here is a link about some of their beliefs. It is worthwhile read for those who want to know more about their views.

We need 25 fans to get us a shorter URL.

This coming Monday we’ll be at LCCC Club Rush from noon to 4pm. The college will provide lunch on the mall.

Come see us at a table near by. We’ll be raffling off an 8GB flash drive.
