“It started with just us three … but now there are so many coming we have to borrow more chairs from our neighbor!” exclaimed Kansas University student, Alberto, to his InterVarsity staff. After encouragement to start new things among his friends on campus, Alberto launched a Latin American prayer group. In just four weeks the group has grown from three students to twelve that meet to read scripture and pray in their native language of Spanish.
The students are internationals from many countries, including Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and the Dominican Republic. Some are Christian while others are not or have become distant in their relationship with Jesus. It is exciting to see student leadership creating a place for Spanish-speaking international students to connect with God.
