Besides a degree, what do you hope to get out of your college experience?

This is the question we're asking freshmen as they come to campus this week. During Catapalooza, MSU's info fair, we are doing a special outreach table. We ask students to write the answer to the question "What do you want to get out of your college experience?" on their hand. We then take a picture and begin to talk to them about how God could fit into the choices they make in college. Our hope and prayer is that this visual display will attract a lot of students, including students who would not normally stop by a Christian table, and that they would come to our events and discover that Jesus is the One they've been hoping for.

We invite you to pray with us toward these ends. My student leaders have been preparing to engage with students and to share their story about how God has impacted their lives in college. Pray that they would be both bold and welcoming, and that God would use this year's New Student Outreach to grow their faith.

How about you? What are you hoping for God to do in your life this year?

Peace,

Julie
