Hello!
So Sexy Pizza happened last night and there is much to celebrate about it. While I gather my thoughts, here is an article that the people form 2100 wrote about it for InterVarsity's main website. Enjoy!

Pray for . . . Sexy Pizza?
(I will explain the title in just a moment.)
Hello everyone. I hope you all called your mothers or sent them a nice card or some flowers.
I wanted to give you all a heads-up about something going down this week at OSU.
We are putting on an evangelistic outreach event called "Sexy Pizza." We have done it in the past but it has been more of a "we are InterVarsity and we are cool so you should come and hang out with us" type of event. This one is much more geared towards giving an invitation for people to respond to the Gospel.
We will have free pizza for everyone and then have a 30-40 minute Q&A discussion (led by me) about the Bible, Jesus, and sex. I always have a fun time doing this so I am anticipating a good time. I have not ever shared the Gospel and given people a chance to respond. So in that sense, I am a little nervous.
For me, this event will be a discipline in doing the work of an evangelist. I could wait until I am feeling like I REALLY want to give an invitation but I am pretty sure that will never happen if I never actually give an invitation.
We behave ourselves into new ways of thinking.
In addition to this, 2100 Productions, InterVarsity's media branch, is actually coming to OSU tomorrow and Wednesday to interview some students and I and film the event. CRAZY! They are wanting to document some things that are happening in the Northwest with regards to evangelism and it will be shown at the National Staff Conference in January. I think this could be a really great opportunity for us and it could be fun for students to walk into the lounge and see cameras and lights.
It makes it seem more professional.
All this to say, I would love it if you all would pray for us this week. Pray that people come to Jesus. Pray that students would be bold in their invitations. Pray that we can all be effective communicators of God's great love. The event is Wednesday at 5:30pm PST.
I will write another post soon to let you know how it went. Peace!
