The Fall semester has started!!

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has welcomed a record-breaking class
for the fall 2024 semester. With a freshman enrollment of 9,008, the new class brings
record total student enrollment at 59,238, including on-campus and online students.
This total includes 37,140 undergraduates and also a record number of 20,765
graduate students.

At the beginning of each new school year there is an event called Quad Day. It is a
day where all the student organizations have a place on the quad to showcase
themselves. For the ministry it is a wonderful day to get to reach out to the new
students. It is also an important time to connect to the new students during the first
couple weeks as they settle into their school routine/life.

English Corner had a Quad Day table setup manned by a lot of wonderful volunteers
who connected with students. English Corner is currently running around 40 – 50
students at their weekly large group meeting from approximately a dozen different
countries. Students are coming from throughout the world to central Illinois which is a
huge opportunity to share the gospel to those who might not hear in their home
country. Please be in prayer for all the students both foreign and domestic at the
University of Illinois that they may see the light of Christ.

Praise God for all he has done!
