Eyosias Samson is this month’s alumni spotlight! Hear part of his story here and read the full story on our website!
(xaalumni.com/blog)

“While earning a degree in electrical engineering at Stanford University, Eyosias Samson’s life was transformed through spiritual growth in Chi Alpha. He is currently working as a product test engineer in the IOT group for a semiconductor company and volunteers in youth ministry and other non-profits to live on mission.

I was torn between going into full-time ministry or working in tech. God opened doors for me in the marketplace, and I took that as confirmation that is what He planned for me. Ministry is not confined to an office building or limited to overseas. God has given me opportunities to minister at work and outside of work. But both are very different environments than a college campus, so I struggled a lot with feeling like I wasn’t doing enough because I kept comparing it. Life post college is very different, but God does not change. He is a patient and will show you opportunities.” #xaalumni #chialpha #standfordalumni #alumnilivingonmission

Today we join @theworldmissionssummit to pray for

Today we join @theworldmissionssummit to pray for the nations.

“So God, work a great work of renewal in your church, I pray. May we live for the sake of the salvation of the world, O God. May this land not be our land, but heaven be our land, and the gathering of your people from all the peoples in every tribe of the world be our passion and our burden. Put America down in our priority list, and put the kingdom of God up, and the name of God up, and the church of God up, and the reaching of the nations up. Grant, I pray that we would have a significant part to play in that. O, give us wisdom.” -John Piper

We had a new hire come into my office needing to speak with me about missing work to be with her brother. This young woman’s brother had overdosed and was in the hospital with 24 hours to live. My heart was broken. Not knowing what else to do, I told her, “Well, I am not sure what you believe, but I believe in a God who can heal.” She was not a believer. I asked to pray for her, and she said, “Yes, that would be great.” I am constantly surprised by the number of unbelievers at work who believe in the power of prayer.
I asked the Lord to heal her brother and to set him free. We said amen, and she went back to her desk. The next day she told me that her brother was 100% healed and the doctors can’t explain it. We began to have more conversations about this God who healed her brother. For a while she wrestled with how a good God can allow bad things to happen. I felt led to simply continue asking her about her relationship with God and not focus on others’ relationship with Him.
One day, the Lord gave me an image of her watching TV and seeing everyone else’s world going so well, but she was just watching from the couch feeling alone and unfulfilled. I told this to her after and she said she really related. I then told her that Jesus just wants to come curl up next to her and be with her on that same couch, but she won’t even let Him into her house. We continued to talk, and I found myself asking her, “Do you want to let Jesus come and sit on your couch?” She said yes, and we began to pray, and she gave her life to the Lord! Since then, I have given her a Bible and a journal. She is the reason why I now keep giveaway Bibles on my shelf in my office.
To think this all started with having compassion and praying over someone else’s circumstances. The Lord is constantly giving us opportunities to do ministry in the workplace

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appoin

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you" (John 15:16 NIV).
YOU are called by Christ to abide in Him and to spread His name, glorifying Him forever. Jesus is not waiting to call you to this task when your work slows down or when this pandemic has slowed. He is calling you to glorify Him in mission right now. We are called to LIVE missions every day, every moment as a lifestyle, not just in college or at church on Sundays. There is no need or time to wait. Jesus has called YOU. From the beginning, He has called you. Allow His Holy Spirit to equip you in direction, wisdom, and in abiding in Him. The time is now to live on mission in your office, in your sphere of influence, and in your family. What will you do with this calling? #xaalumni #welivemissions #twms5

Attention Chi Alpha family- Join us TOMORROW for 1

Attention Chi Alpha family- Join us TOMORROW for 10.2 Day of prayer as we pray with Chi Alpha nation for more laborers.
Could our labor shortage be related to our prayer shortage? We can all agree that the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. How many times have you heard ministries and missionaries say “We need more workers”? It’s interesting that Jesus’ strategy for solving this problem in Luke 10:2 doesn’t being with recruiting. Jesus says our strategy should start with prayer, asking the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers.
If Jesus tells us to pray something we believe He’s open to answering that prayer.
Tune into We Live Missions Facebook Page as we pray across every time zone October 2nd for more laborers and join the movement by texting“xapray” to 313131 #welivemissions #chialpha #xaalumni #prayformorelaborers

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Asher George is an alumnus from

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Asher George is an alumnus from Texas Tech University and is currently a second-year medical student at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. Asher shares with us his unique experience of living on mission with his fellow classmates in medical school. He has been able to create a small group by reaching out to the students he is surrounded by.
WHAT CHALLENGES COME WITH BEING IN THE HEALTHCARE FIELD?
"The healthcare field is a very important mission field. I believe that medical students especially constitute a very important Unreached People Group. I believe the potential for medical students who love Jesus to impact this nation and the ends of the earth can only be limited by Christians’ disobedience to the Great Commission. The ability to impact our current and future patients’ lives gives us hope to continue with our studies and training, but if we cannot offer our patients Hope and Healing that can only come from Jesus, then our prescribed medicines and surgeries will only function as placebos for people who need a spiritual dose of Jesus."
