I grew up, for the most part of my life, in a Christian family. I myself
believed into the Lord Jesus when I was in second grade and was baptized
when I was 13. Since the beginning of my salvation, I believed the Lord
was my friend. He loved me and was always there for me. Because of such
a relationship, I determined my college years were going to count in God's
eyes. Others immersed themselves in academics and the social life, but
I wanted to be for the building up of the church (1 Cor. 14:26). Not to
say I was "perfect" in college, but by the time I graduated in December
2003, I still loved the Lord. One reason was due to Christians on Campus.
The club gave me a way to "flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness,
faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart"
(2 Tim. 2:22). Whether the people involved in the club were my peers or
older or younger Christians, they ministered Christ to me when I saw them
on and off campus. Many times I would be so physically and emotionally
drained by the evenings, but I would be nourished physically and spiritually
when I met these Christians in homes for dinner and fellowship. Furthermore,
I especially treasured the times when an older Christian sister would
pray with me when I was going through hard times. These and many more
experiences were what got me through college. -- B.L.
