Xin Xiao Qu Campus

Our city has over 1/4 million university students. Spread out over a city of 6-8 million people (we never have gotten a solid answer on this) there are 4 main campus areas. Ke Ji Daxue (Science and Technology). Shihu Xiao Qu where some of our students went this summer. Bei (North), Benbu (Center), and Dong (East) Campus where we study, and Xin Qu.

Over the next few weeks, we'll show you some of the campus' that we are spending time at and some things you can specifically be lifting up for those campus.'

The first one we will focus on is New Campus. Some things you can lift up for this campus:

- A family that is likely going to partner with us at this campus to help out with the work. Ask the Father to give them grace in their preparation come.

- For possible semester students from TSC to have the logistics for them to work out to come and be used on this campus.

- That the brothers and sisters on this campus would come together in fellowship and would be bold in sharing.

Here are some of the places on the campus:

The Gate

The motto of Suzhou Daxue is "Unto a Full Grown Man." The campus was originally founded by American brothers and sisters, but has long since lost that influence. However, this motto is based on Lk 2:52 that speaks of the Son "growing in wisdom and favor and stature with both the Father and men." Ask that some of these roots would produce fruit that will be harvested.

The Library

One student told me there's hardly any books in there, but the university just wanted to build a cool building to show themselves off. A great reflection on the materialism that's invading this culture.
