Hakim & Asuman

Sorry for taking forever to post...this is the first time in several weeks that I've even been able to make it into blogger, which has made posting rather difficult.

These two guys are Hakim and Asuman (respectively). They are two Muslim students that I met during the Fresher's Welcome (when all the freshmen move onto campus). They are government-sponsored (ie full scholarship courtesy of the government) students and therefore were supposed to be guaranteed rooms on campus. They arrived on campus only to find out that they were amongst a handful of government-sponsored freshers who didn't have on campus housing. As they had no where to stay, I let them stay with me a couple of days until they were able to find a room.

I had been praying for opportunities to build relationships with new students, and while this was certainly not what I had expected it was a great opportunity (a better one in fact). Please pray as I attempt to further build a relationship with these two guys and share the gospel with them.
