Cru Winter Conference Has an Impact
At the end of four days together focused on building relationships, learning from Biblical teaching, worshipping God, and serving in under-privileged communities, approximately 150 students from Ohio State gathered together to talk about how God used this conference in their lives. It was so encouraging just to sit and listen to students share:
“I felt like this year was the hardest of my life. This year was the hardest to jump back into school and community, but in the midst of this I’ve been learning more about God. I went to the prison outreach, and I had the opportunity to share the gospel with a prisoner who re-committed his life to Christ. He was so impacted by a simple hug and act of friendship.” – Nathan
“This whole year I’ve been wrestling with God. I know He’s been pulling me out into the light, but I’ve felt okay staying in my grave. This conference was the first time I’ve actually hung out with people in months. I don’t even know how to explain how significant this has been for me. I’m tired of being that light that’s hidden.” – Bailey
“I’ve never felt like I’ve been able to engage emotionally with worship and speakers before. This was the first time I can remember that I let myself feel emotion. I felt at peace during the sessions and I let the tears fall. I think freedom is a word I’d take away from this conference, a freedom I haven’t felt in a long time.” – Darby
Thank you so much for your partnership and support, so that we can help students like Nathan, Bailey, and Darby to attend a conference where they experience God’s grace in such tangible ways.
