I hope that our fg can grow in prayer. A lot of the members in the fg came into fg this semester not really knowing how to pray. I hope that by the end of the year, we can together learn the importance of prayer and be prayer warriors together

2021-11-13 14:52:44 UTC

All the friendships I've made since I moved to Boston. They are the testimonies of God's faithfulness to me.

I enjoyed getting close to the freshman in my FG and for the tight, intimate space we were able to foster

2021-11-13 14:52:48 UTC

2021-11-13 14:52:53 UTC

God showing me how good it is to trust Him; answered prayers about things that I wanted to control v badly but had to surrender to him

2021-11-13 14:52:53 UTC

God continuing to mold and shape me through both the enjoyable and less-than-pleasant moments of life.

2021-11-13 14:52:54 UTC

a community that lifts each other up and encourages each other to walk with Christ!

2021-11-13 14:52:56 UTC

2021-11-13 14:53:09 UTC

thankful for my servant team being a continuous blessing and constantly reminding me how good God's love is

wisekev — 2021-11-13 14:53:14 UTC

Seeing students grow a hunger for Christ

2021-11-13 14:53:19 UTC

worship times

2021-11-13 14:53:23 UTC

worship night with our FG (the songs were such a blessing)

2021-11-13 14:53:24 UTC

Getting to meet and know new people in the church that I normally wouldn't see and to be able to grow close to them through vulnerability.

2021-11-13 14:53:28 UTC

God's strength/grace in helping me get through this semester despite it being so busy :)

I hope to see my FG members grow in their simply desire to know Jesus. Although we call ourselves Christians, I wish that their faith was their number one priority and that we would live out Acts 2 church.

This semester God has so clearly shown me how covered and cared for I am by God.

2021-11-13 14:53:44 UTC

thankful for my servant team and the continuous love, care, and support they show me

Gaining hope.

2021-11-13 14:53:51 UTC

community

2021-11-13 14:53:56 UTC

something I realized as the weeks went by in our FG is our greater need to pray for our campus and its community - to have a greater heart for those around us

2021-11-13 14:53:59 UTC

The honesty of my FG students and their genuine love for one another.

2021-11-13 14:54:01 UTC

A loving servant team that reminds me to serve with a constantly prayerful heart!

2021-11-13 14:54:01 UTC

seeing how open people are willing to be and their desire for God

Being a witness to them

shine15 — 2021-11-13 14:54:04 UTC

I've witnessed so many members who have grown in their desire to love and know God. in the beginning, there was less clarity, but God is truly faithful in opening hearts and answering prayers

2021-11-13 14:54:04 UTC

how comfortable we have been able to be with each other and how fg felt very natural and joyful many times:)

2021-11-13 14:54:05 UTC

Symphony Cup!! We became more close and comfortable w/ one another, helping us to be more vulnerable during fg

2021-11-13 14:54:07 UTC

The times that we're able to laugh together and enjoy the fellowship we're having

Small size and getting to know one another more than I expected :)

2021-11-13 14:54:12 UTC

2021-11-13 14:54:14 UTC

Bible study discussions. They went so deep and were so fluid, servant team didn't really have to do much

2021-11-13 14:54:15 UTC

reminders of God's faithfulness and how He never fails me even when the things of this earth do

2021-11-13 14:54:20 UTC

Small group time to go deeper and more personal with our FG

Prayer

2021-11-13 14:54:28 UTC

2021-11-13 14:54:33 UTC

hoping that people can grow in their personal love for Christ; that faith can abound in the hearts of my family group members

2021-11-13 14:54:34 UTC

seeing my friends, fg members (especially those in my grade) feeling more and more comfortable and like themselves --> they don't have to act, they know they are fully known and loved

I hope to see more sharing and being touched by the Holy Spirit in community

2021-11-13 14:54:34 UTC

a real desire to know God/ build a relationship w Him

Boston College-WWE we are making cookies and affirmations for people on our campus

2021-11-13 14:54:38 UTC

2021-11-13 14:54:40 UTC

Sharing prayer requests and seeing how God is answering them throughout the semester

2021-11-13 14:54:42 UTC

seeing passion for Jesus in our freshmen has been so encouraging

2021-11-13 14:54:45 UTC

our servant team because they are prayerful, wise and loving. I'm grateful to call them my friends!

2021-11-13 14:54:48 UTC

our fg dynamic is so special; it has been so lovely to see how much everyone laughs together, genuinely cares for each other, and is eager to be spiritually open with each other

for God's strength to do all that I had to do this semester. felt like it was impossible to get through some weeks. but the Symphony community and God's presence helped me persevere

michaelysoh1 — 2021-11-13 14:54:52 UTC

UNITY

2021-11-13 14:54:53 UTC

even if we aren't best of friends, that we recognize we are united in the Lord! that people will be open and encourage one another - that we would learn what it means to share life FOR HIM together.

2021-11-13 14:55:02 UTC

A passion and fire for God and joy in learning more about Him each week

2021-11-13 14:55:02 UTC

Boldness for Christ on their campus

2021-11-13 14:55:04 UTC

a greater desire for God and that we hunger to know Him

2021-11-13 14:55:06 UTC

seeing people gradually open up and become comfortable being vulnerable

2021-11-13 14:55:07 UTC

I want to see my members be willing to share more and speak during large group discussions and be active in growing their faith and relationship

wisekev — 2021-11-13 14:55:07 UTC

I hope that our FG can grow more and more to take initiative to make their faith their own-to seek ways they can serve and worship God in their own ways

2021-11-13 14:55:09 UTC

I've witnessed a group of extremely different individuals who are united under Christ and have the same mission.

2021-11-13 14:55:10 UTC

I'm thankful for the various conversations and interactions that have blessed me in our community especially throughout retreat that have really helped build me up.

nicholasding2015 — 2021-11-13 14:55:11 UTC

God's grace/joy. It's been a tough semester. But God has been incredibly faithful to me despite my mistakes and struggles.

2021-11-13 14:55:19 UTC

I love our small group time during our FG! It has been such a joy talking with them.

Also our members are so involved and engaged and interactive inside AND outside of FG and its so exciting to see all of them be excited to love each other.

deeeeeep faith

2021-11-13 14:55:26 UTC

we are getting better at hanging out and being friends but I would hope by the end of the year our members would be putting their faith and the Lord as a higher priority than they are now

Intimacy with God

shine15 — 2021-11-13 14:55:31 UTC

Want to continually be able to encourage fg members to dive deeper with concrete action items: word and prayer.

Feel like it's easy to break into discussion now that members are more familiar with communicating and opening up on how they are doing (in their personal lives) and in their relationship with God. but how will they know to continually take the next step (after initial introspection) without intimately knowing God?

2021-11-13 14:55:49 UTC

bible study discussions... so good.... and the love people have for each other

2021-11-13 14:55:57 UTC

being grounded in truth and a deeper understanding of the fullness of life and freedom in His Spirit. deeper hunger to build His Kingdom outside of church. also would be nice if we could get to know one another more as people c:

2021-11-13 14:55:57 UTC

Boston College - HOME - We are making coffee and encouragements and giving it out to people studying in the library

2021-11-13 14:56:06 UTC

our times of fellowship and sharing!

2021-11-13 14:56:07 UTC

Fenway (Beloved + Corps) Potluck (inviting non-believing friends) with alpha style conversations

2021-11-13 14:56:15 UTC

a daily hunger for God, built through intentional prayer time. that people's relationships in this fg will be truly driven by a desire for the other person to know Him more

that they would KNOW God and His character --> identity in God and who God says they are

2021-11-13 14:56:22 UTC

I want to see my fg members seek and find an intimacy with Jesus that they've never experienced before.

2021-11-13 14:56:23 UTC

for them to all have the desire to become more involved and maybe serve the campus or fg in some way

2021-11-13 14:56:23 UTC

That our FG can grow outside of FG. That they will nurture their personal relationship with God on their own with God.

nicholasding2015 — 2021-11-13 14:56:32 UTC

FG dinners. It's been wonderful just eating and using time to enjoy each others company, and I feel like they have helped open people up to each other.

2021-11-13 14:56:32 UTC

Seeing people's hunger for seeking Jesus grow

2021-11-13 14:56:42 UTC

that we would continue to further our relationship together outside of FG

2021-11-13 14:57:01 UTC

for them to know that they can rest because God knows them; that they can experience TRUE rest; that they would really taste and experience God's love

2021-11-13 14:57:34 UTC

that our FG members would find comfort in prayer and not see it as something scary/formal but something that is restful and an intimate time w God

The Lord's tenderness and gentleness and life and joy when I'm feeling so defeated and tired... He has carried me through so many days this semester

2021-11-13 14:58:38 UTC

A heart for our FG, campus Christian community, and the larger college Christian community

nicholasding2015 — 2021-11-13 14:58:38 UTC
