Latetia led our ��Ƶ movement, particularly on the West Coast and among our Black Campus Ministries community, in a prophetic invitation to believe that God will bring revival to our campuses, but the revival will start in our own hearts.

Transformed by Scripture: Neil’s Story

Neil, now an alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin, encountered ��Ƶ not through an invitation, a roommate, or a table, but from a humble flyer.

As a freshman, Neil already had a stack of flyers clutched in his hand as he navigated his way past the student organizations vying for his attention on the way to class. When he was approached by yet another student offering him a flyer, Neil accepted it, only concerned with making it to his class on time. It remained unread for two weeks.
