Today was full of orientations. We started with Ernest showing us around Penn State. We walked from building to building. When indoors, we saw the areas that are significant to Life Quest’s work, and when outdoors, we were surrounded by the beautiful yellow trees that decorate the campus.
When the tour ended, we divided into several groups and found lunch at Vietnamese, Japanese, and Thai restaurants near the campus.
With satisfied bellies, we returned to headquarters and sat in a circle where Brian and Nevin introduced us the history and vision of Sowers Harvest Café. Nevin and his brother Wesley also showed us the process of roasting the coffee that Sowers Harvest brews and serves.
Ernest and Grant introduced us to a survey project that Life Quest has been implementing. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week, we will be on campus, seeking students who are willing to participate in a survey that will help discover individual’s perspectives on religion, ethics, and Christianity and give them an opportunity to get connected with Life Quest. Conversations that the surveys start will also give us a chance to speak about the Gospel. Following the introduction, we paired up and practiced giving the survey to each other.
We ended the day with a presentation from Happy Valley Christian Community’s president Christian and stories from Ernest about the ways God has used Life Quest’s ministries to introduce people to Jesus.
Tomorrow we anticipate speaking with students at Penn State.
