College Ministry

I think I found a place to worship and be fed and feel comfortable while doing it. Here at UNC-G I have gone to all of the Christian organizations, trying to find the best fit for me. With each visit I grew more comfortable, thinking "This is the one. I like it here." But even over the past few weeks, as I stayed at a place where I thought would become my home, something did not feel right. The people were nice, but I made no lasting friendships. The speakers were great, but it was the same thing over and over again. It was an outreach, not discipleship. The thing that bothered me the most was the fact that they had no music. Singing is my favorite way to worship, and I was missing it. So tonight, I tried something new - Intervarsity. I have been meaning to try it all along. Really, I have. Over the past week I have felt the need to try it out and see what it is all about. I think God wanted me to try it out too. Several things this week made me think about Intervarsity and the fact that I had not been. Just this afternoon I was walking back from class and saw a randomly placed sign that was advertising the meeting time and place for IV - tonight. So I decided to finally go and try it out. I invited Tay and she came along. The message was really great, and something I needed to hear. At the end, Pastor Jim invited anyone who was in need of prayer up to the front, and he and another guy prayed over them. One of the international students in my dorm, Connie, accepted Christ tonight. Her face was beaming and I could see the relief and joy in her smile. She is beautiful, and she is His.


Please keep Connie in your prayers as she begins her new journey. C:
