Hey everyone,
This past year I've had the opportunity to lead an upperclassmen men's small group (connection point group). What a blessing they have been to me, the church, and the Clemson community. This group composed of two men I have led in past small groups since their freshman year. Also, there were three men from the India SummerLink trip I led this past summer. One guy that was sent my way as he hungers for discipleship. Another who played football with me in our annual Crossbowl football game. Another who longed to evangelize. And someone who had once attended a small group in a previous year, left, and came back as his friends asked him to come.
Why bother to tell about each person? Each person testifies the Gospel in the life of Crosspoint. Men who desire and pursue Biblical fellowship as freshman, men who take the Gospel overseas to the unengaged and unreached peoples, men who desire growth and discipleship, men who attend and engage in churchwide fellowships, men who desire to reach the lost, and men who bring other men to engage in the Gospel in a small group.
Our small group studied Ephesians and a book by Mark Dever called What is a Healthy Church? We passed out water to Greek intramural flag football games, cooked out for some of the Greek students, and prayer walked in the Greek quads. We went camping together, took the upperclass women's group camping, and served the ladies supper one night. We prayed for each other and encouraged one another to live the Gospel. We discussed the importance of articulating the Gospel on a platform, how to listen to those speaking on platforms, and how to healthily respond after hearing someone speaking the Gospel on a platform.
These men live the Gospel and the Spirit continues to teach them. It has been a joy to lead these men and serve alongside them.
