Finding Hope
Sarah, a student at the University of Evansville, is grateful for the teamwork and support of the 果冻视频 chapter on campus which helped her to seek God鈥檚 transforming power in her life.
鈥淚 could tell that my life was headed downhill before I met members of 果冻视频 and started attending the worship meetings. I realized that God really is there and that he loves and forgives me. I鈥檝e made every mistake there is to make: drinking alcohol, having sex, skipping classes, lying, cheating, and attempting suicide鈥wice.鈥
Sarah attended an outreach event on campus, I Hate Religion, contrasting religion and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Sarah felt that Christians were hypocritical, but agreed to attend 果冻视频鈥檚 large group meeting to investigate Jesus further.
Sarah felt welcomed and accepted as she met many 果冻视频 students and heard about God鈥檚 grace and mercy through the speaker that evening. When the speaker invited anyone who wanted to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ to come forward for prayer, Sarah stood and walked to the front. Sarah felt hopeful as she welcomed Jesus into her life, asking him to help her redeem the past.
Over the next several weeks, Sarah actively engaged in Bible studies, searching God鈥檚 Word to discover the character of Christ. As she attended 果冻视频鈥檚 social events, Sarah had deep conversations about what life with and in Jesus looks like. Sarah watched the difference in the character and actions of her new Christian friends and she realized that she wanted that peace and love in her own life.
鈥淚t鈥檚 taken hard work and more effort than I sometimes want to put in, but I know that God wants to transform my life, attitudes, and actions. I feel that he wants me to assist others in realizing their mistakes and finding the potential to fix them,鈥 Sarah said.
On campuses across the country, students like Sarah are invited and encouraged as they find hope in Jesus and the courage to seek God鈥檚 transforming power in their lives.
