Last week, I got to talk about Jesus with an agnostic penguin from Ireland who only communicated with a marker! These are the kinds of strange sentences I find myself saying as we pioneer evangelistic ministry to gaming students. I met the student on the digital back porch of a cozy little house in a game called VRChat. Oh, and I was apparently dressed as a Lego version of Spiderman.
As I entered the house, every room was filled with my colleagues engaging new people in spiritual conversations. Even though people’s voices get louder only as they get closer to you, it was actually a little hard to tune out all the chatter of these beautiful gospel dialogues, so I went outside to the back porch to get some quiet. That’s where I found the penguin doodling in the sky with a marker. The name “Lemon Lad” floated above his head, and he enthusiastically answered all of my questions by writing in the sky between us (sometimes I had to move around to see it at the right angle). He said it was his first time in the program and that he found spiritual conversations interesting. He asked for prayer for his final exams, and agreed to check out EveryStudent.com, a website we run that averages 2,000 new believers every day. Please pray for Lemon Lad and all the others we hope to reach this summer!
