“Hi. I’m Sally. Do you want to come to Campus Ambassadors tonight?” It all began with a simple question and God’s perfect timing.
In October 2011, I casually invited a friend, Jess, to Campus Ambassadors (CA). Without any questions or hesitation, she said yes. “As I watched hands go up in the air and people pray, I was confused,” Jess stated. At this moment, I knew what she was thinking, “What did Sally bring me to?!” God still used this night to speak to Jess. After the evening wrapped up, Jess said, “I can’t wait to come back next week!” Since then, I have had the opportunity to share the gospel with her. In May 2012, Jess committed her life to Christ.
College is an important season in a young person’s life, where gaining independence and making choices is a serious endeavor. As students are choosing majors and questioning their purpose in life, they often turn to the secular world for their identity. Through campus ministries, we are there to support students and provide them with the truth of the gospel.
Jess is just one example of the 32,000 students at the University at Buffalo (UB), who are seeking answers.
I often hear questions like:
1) Of all the world’s possible religions, why do you think the stories of the Bible are more valid than the stories of other religions?
2) If God wants everyone to go to heaven, why did He create Hell?
3) If God is all-powerful and loving, why doesn’t He stop pain and suffering?
These are hard questions I am faced with every day by college students. I am determined to steer individuals in the right direction through God’s wisdom and strength. As a Campus Minister, I will have the opportunity to evangelize and disciple college students daily! I recognize that God has a calling on my life and I desire to follow that call wherever it may take me.
Mark 6:15b states “Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation.”
