Recently we had a great speaker, Dick Schroeder, come to MSU Chi Alpha and share with the students on the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and just give general ministry and counseling where needed. It was a wonderful time for the students. Dick was an excellent listener and encourager, which is precisely what some of these aspiring professionals need. He really laid a good message on the table the evening that he was with us at Pastor Mark's house. Three students in particular were eager to be prayed for baptism in the HS and showed a great passion to pursue God more intensely moving forward. Praise God!
Here's a little more about Dick and his HS Series. He basically travels almost exclusively to XA (Chi Alpha) ministries, but also other venues, around the nation just to serve them however they feel they need service at the time. He's a cool guy.
One of the great things about Dick is that he is so sensitive to the what the Holy Spirit is speaking. He spent a whole day just meeting one-on-one with Chi Alpha students, listening and speaking encouragement. Afterward, we had a time of feedback with students for them to discuss their expectations and experiences with Dick. It was really valuable to see the different ways the Holy Spirit was speaking to each student exactly what they needed - it really helped to grow our faith in how to listen to the voice of God.
