I was raised in a Christian household, but never fully understood the gospel until the summer of my freshman year in college at a Campus Outreach’s Summer Beach Project. I was convicted of how much I was dead in my trespasses and needed to be raised to a new life. By God’s grace, He gave me new life which led me to want to share this great joy with others.

  • Where I serve

    Include a 250 character paragraph describing campus work. The students at Howard are young, intelligent, ambitious, and many are even searching for answers, but so many of them are without Christ.
