“I’m here because God told me to be here this weekend..but I don’t want to be here,” shared Dan, a Johnson County Community College student, during the first night of Fall Conference. Twenty-four hours later, a smiling Dan approached Area Director of InterVarsity in Kansas, Tim Lin, and said, “I figured out why God wanted me here! I’m here because I needed to re-establish my relationship with Jesus. And I’m now ready to do that!”
The Kansas area fall conference saw other students greatly impacted, too. An international student began following Jesus for the first time. A Longview Community College student felt God’s love during the weekend and she was also ready to restart her relationship with Him. A student from Park University was so encouraged in his faith at the conference that when he was approached by two non-Christian friends for emotional support back on campus (not usually his strong-suit) he listened well, prayed for them and even led a mini-Bible study with one on the spot.
These are just a few of the hundreds of lives that were touched in big or small ways during fall conferences throughout the region this month. Thank you so much for your prayers for many to say yes.
