St. Louis Retreat - Vantage Point

Thank you for being so faithful to pray for this campus. Last weekend 125 students spent the weekend in St. Louis investigating Christ. Our theme was Vantage Point and we discussed the reality that we all have a vantage point from which we see the cross and for most people this perspective is limited or incorrect. We attempted to expose them to the truth about the cross and what it means for life. Many left understanding the cross for the first time. Many others finally see why Christ can claim to be the only way and how he can require you to surrender your life to him.
Now, on campus we encouraged students this week to take 30 days to learn more about Jesus and get to know Him by reading a passage each day. Each passage is one of Jesus’ teachings or an encounter he had with someone. Please pray that as people are investigating and reading, that Christ would become real to them and they would put their faith in Him.

“For God, who said Let light shine out of darkness has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
II Corinthians 4:4
