“Last January, I sensed God telling me that my fellow Latino students would need a safe space on campus” says, Johnson County Community College student, Rachel. In response, Rachel courageously launched a Bible study for Latino students that she dubbed LaFe (Latino Fellowship, also “The Faith”) con Cafe (with coffee).
As you are probably aware, a Presidential order ending DACA has brought fear and uncertainty to 800,000 young adults in our country. Some of them are in our colleges and universities.
At the first LaFe con Cafe meeting, students shared vulnerably with one another about their fears and worries. At the same time, they were eager to seek out Jesus and to consider what he has to say to their lives right now. There may be few places on campus that these students can really let down their guard and find encouragement and support. Now Rachel reflects “as many of them are uncertain about their future, I can see why God has called me to start this group!”
