Stories of Students coming to faith

Video: Student Testimonies of Turning to Jesus at Catalina

check out some testimonies from Soul Food, our fall conference, at Catalina every year in early November.

Karen: Student Testimony of Turning Back to Jesus

Helping students find their way back to God: Karen is like many college students. They grow up with some faith, come to SDSU and get swept up into the party scene, then wake up one day finding themselves far from God. Well, InterVarsity loves helping students find their way back, and by God’s grace we were able to do that this fall for her. Watch the video of her testimony at our last meeting of the year just two weeks ago!

Simon: Student Testimony of Turning to Jesus

Watch a great testimony from Simon, a 3rd year at SDSU, as he shares about Jesus breaking the addictions in his life and reconciling him back to his mother.

Greeks Meet God!

Last week I got to lead on John 5, Jesus heals the lame man at the pool, at our weekly bible study this week held in ZBT. Although we have seen over 27 students come to faith (some of which made re commitments in their walk with the Lord) in one month back to school, not many of these have been Greek. In fact we launched Greek IV a couple of weeks ago after rush ended, so we are slowly gaining momentum.
We have only 3 first-timers attend last week but all 3 responded to God’s word!

I challenged them at the end to think about an area of their life they want to be ‘unstuck’ or ‘made well’ in and to write down if they believed Jesus could do this for them. After the study the 2 guys who were there both said they’d like to meet a guy leader or staff for coffee because they had a lot of questions about Jesus. (I heard them in their small groups asking: How do I know I have Jesus in my life right now?!) and a sorority girl that came made a re commitment in her relationship with God. We are excited to have students follow up with her and get her connected to a house study 2 of our leaders are starting next week. I wanted to share this story with you to show you how God is moving in the Greek system on SDSU’s campus!
