Welcome to a new year! 2013 was capped off with a student getting baptized and my group of strong Christian ladies remarkably taking over a girls bible study and expanding it to reach their peers on campus. I don't take credit for these things, nor could I, I am just happy to be a part of them.
In the process of encouraging my students and staff I often get the opportunity to sit back and marvel at how God works. The Robertsons (Mandy, Cameron. and Ruben) have done an amazing job in the case of the student who was baptized recently. They took building a relationship to inviting this student to church, to their house, into their lives. They accept the student for who he is.
I can tell you statistics and figures of the Campus Life program. I can tell you that it made a difference in Alex's life. However, to adequately pinpoint the success of Campus Life is not to give credit to the program, but to the people that God is using to reach these students (and ultimately the God who is in charge of directing His people). It truly is building relationships and sharing the love of Christ that makes the difference. God gets all the glory. I realize I get to play a part, but it is exciting to sit back and realize I am so tiny and small in this wonderful orchestra that is the Kingdom of God.
