“While I was studying chemistry, I started to see that God is real.” This is what sophomore Joaquin (3rd from the left) said during his first time at his campus’ weekly prayer meeting!
Joaquin grew up in a nominally Catholic home, but his family didn’t really go to church or talk about faith. It wasn’t until college, through his science classes, that he saw how creation points to a Creator, and he began to wonder what God might be like. However, at that point, these were just unanswered questions in his mind.
This fall, some of our Cru staff ran into Joaquin during their weekly evangelism hour. They shared with him about who this Creator God is and how we can know Him through Christ. Joaquin decided then and there that he wanted to begin a new relationship with Jesus!! Since then, Joaquin has been participating in small group on Tuesday nights. He meets regularly with our staff to grow in his new faith.
Joaquin shared his faith for the first time, helping to pass on that same good new to others! Praise God for his work in Joaquin’s life, and this example of how God takes lost students and turns them in into multiplying disciples! Pray for more students to come to know God and be sent out into the harvest fields!
