Owen and Sara Beightol

I (Owen) became a Christian my senior year of high school through the ministry of Young Life. I came to George Washington University a month later with a desire to know and follow God but with no idea how to do it. By God’s grace I randomly stumbled upon Campus Outreach’s first ever meeting at GW and I began regularly attending their weekly meetings and Bible studies. I met up with the Campus Director almost every day and he taught me how to read the bible, pray, evangelize, and live as a Christian in college. I am now blessed to have the opportunity to labor to make disciples!

When I (Sara) went off to college at George Washington University, I knew very little about who Jesus was. In the beginning of my sophomore year of college I met a CO staff girl, who began faithfully reading the Bible with me and explaining the purpose of the cross. I attended the Campus Outreach National New Years Conference in 2011 where I heard great Gospel teaching, and where God allowed me to see my sin against him and how Jesus had paid it all. The Lord brought me to himself during the conference, and I started to understand how my purpose and greatest joy would be to live for God’s glory.
