Sharon’s story from last month was just the beginning! Listen to how God’s continuing to use students to reach students:-At USC’s “Jericho Prayer Walk” students walked around different dorms on campus, praying. Then they entered in pairs to see if God was at work..and every pair came back with a story. One student was instantly healed of swine flu and was doing cartwheels in celebration. Another pair was led to a particular room, met a non-Christian student who was seeking answers to spiritual questions, and they’ve been discussing the Bible regularly since then. A third pair met a really hostile student who rejected them, and then fifteen minutes later opened up his life to them and asked for prayer. College freshmen are seeing God use them; imagine who they will become!
-A UCLA student named Matt was getting to know his roommate. “Do you have any spiritual background?” “I’m atheist,” he replied. “Oh, interesting,” Matt answered, “why is that?” (Pretty thoughtful question!) “Hmm. I don’t totally know…I should think about that,” he reflected. Instead of being intimidated, Matt pressed in deeper. Since that conversation, Matt and his roommate have been looking at the Bible, talking about it, and attended the InterVarsity fall conference together last weekend. It’s amazing to see students like Matt coming into their own as campus influencers.
