SPRING BREAKthrough
Never before have twenty-two students from Purdue University ventured to
the exotic lands of Peoria, Illinois, for their spring vacation but it was totally worth it! The week was full of prayer, fellowship, service, and outreach at
a local community college where Chi Alpha is just getting started with a leader and a few students. When the time for their Bible study came, the room
was full of first-time visitors we had just invited as we walked the campus
and met new people.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was hearing the testimony of an exsatanist who was radically born-again! Pedro told stories about feeling powerless to perform the enemys work when true followers of Christ were
aroundthe presence of God would frustrate his plans. He described a dark,
lonely life of hatred until He had an encounter with Jesus during a prayer
meeting in a classroom on his college campus. He can look back now and see
that even when he lived as an enemy of God, he was shielded and protected
from the destruction that should have come with some of the choices he
made. After hearing Pedros testimony, I was filled with awe at the love and
mercy of our Lord. Today Pedro is married and raising children in a loving
home, but who knows where hed be today had it not been for that one visit
to a college prayer gathering. Its because of students like Pedro that Chi
Alpha exists so that those who would never darken the doors of a church
might experience the power of God among His people. Thank you for praying with me, partnering financially, and believing God to do even greater
things!
