Competing with fall break and a home football game, Purdue IV managed to bring 20 students to Fall Conference this year! God worked in some amazing ways through those that were there. One freshman described how God was moving in her life. “I lost my faith a little after I felt unwelcome/hurt by my church home a few years ago,” she said. “Now I have decided to recommit my life to God and put my earthly desires away for the sake of my faith.”
Several others were significantly impacted by times in track. There were commitments to make the chapter more hospitable to newcomers. Several students want to help their friends explore who Jesus is. Leaders expressed a desire to come back to campus and apprentice future leaders of the chapter. Mike is excited to see how these commitments will help God’s kingdom spread.
This year Mike also had the opportunity to give the main vision talk on Saturday night. He shared his story with students and invited them to follow Jesus into risk. He paralleled his story with Simon’s in Luke 5. Little did they know that he was doing that in front of them! At the end of the talk Mike called students into several risks. Much of the room stood, committing to following Jesus into the next risk in their life. It was an amazing opportunity for Mike to experience God’s love as he helped students do the same. Praise God for helping students fall in love with Him at Fall Conference.
