MISSIONARY UPDATE: Tallulah Reyes
Dear West Side Presbyterian,
Thank you so much for all of your financial support and prayers this past year. It has been a year of jubilation, for sure! This year, I spent time working with Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship at Western Washington University. I led a small group of 14 girls and led outreaches on campus to Western students. I also took seminary-level courses, learning about theology and the Bible.
I would not have been able to do any of this without your support! Being on campus and being a friend to students is the biggest blessing in my life. I would like to share a story from my time on campus.
Two of my small-group girls I met during a game night hosted by other student leaders and myself. They are roommates, and both prayed that God would pair them with another Christian. The Lord delivered, and they found themselves rooming together and walking into a Christian community the next day. I got to walk one-on-one with both girls throughout the year. We read the book of Jonah and talked about Revelation. We shared personal struggles and deep heartache. At the end of three months together, one said, “I have grown more in my faith over these last few months than I have my whole time being a Christian.”
Now, these girls will lead a small group next year, and they want to inspire and guide another generation of students in the same way they were guided this year. I also got to be their friend, which is more than I could have asked for! It was such a delight to walk with each of the girls in my small group through their respective stories, pray for them, and show them Jesus. Most of all, I get to witness and encourage them to pursue God the way He pursues us.
This next year, I have the honor of continuing in ministry. I have accepted a staff position with Campus Christian Fellowship, the club I worked for this year. I will manage the women’s ministry house, affectionately dubbed “the Mansion”. I am so excited to transition into a longer-term missionary status. Because of this, I am still in charge of raising my support, and I would love to connect with West Side again as I embark on another season of support raising this summer. It has been a joy to partner with you all and work together in Jesus’s mission.
College is such a crucial age. When they enter, students learn who they want to be for the rest of their lives. They have many questions and many more concerns. It is essential that they have people who care for their well-being and growth. And we try to do just that! We encourage students to be involved with a local church, take individual time with God seriously, and, most of all, walk beside them as they navigate what it means to follow God in college, and how that can translate once they graduate. We reach Christian and non-Christian students alike and ultimately hope for their reconciliation with the Lord.
Thank you so much for your prayers. If you would like to continue to partner with me, prayer is always welcomed and always needed! Prayer is powerful, and I have felt God’s hand through many different seasons this year, so thank you. If you wish to receive my newsletter with ministry updates and prayer requests, please email me at: Tallulahr@ccfministry.com. Because I am a missionary to Western Washington’s campus, I am responsible for raising my own monthly support. I am currently at 48% of my budget raised and have until August 25th to be fully funded. If you have been supporting me financially this year, thank you so much! I am deeply grateful to be on Western’s Campus, and would love to see you again this summer! If you would like to continue my number remains the same: Tallulah Reyes 29A4178. If you would like to join my team, or talk more with me about what I will be doing next year. I will be setting up meetings and phone calls this summer to friends in my life that are willing to listen! Since this is a partnership, I am making a commitment to reach students for Jesus, be a faithful advocate, but also pray and build relationships with everyone on my team.
