  Western Michigan U. students have found a really effective way to reach out to fellow students. Small groups go door-to-door in their hall, asking for prayer requests from residents. They pray for their hallmates as a small group, and then follow up on the requests two weeks later.

As God faithfully answers prayer, students start paying attention. Some have come to Christ through this outreach and have gotten involved in small groups. According to InterVarsity® staff worker Andrea Thomas, "Two things happen: our faith is deepened as we see God move among unbelievers, and the act of reaching out lifts us out of our 'holy huddles' to see the real needs of students around us."
