Testimony for Jen
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see you good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5: 16
Secular college campuses can be a dark place for a young adult to tread. God chose this pathway for me to be a light.
As a child being taught the scriptures at home and church, I was able to realize my need for Christ, and I, consequently, trusted Him as my personal savior. At the age of 9, I declared my salvation in front of the church and was baptized.
Upon graduation from high school with all of the many choices for college, God made the pathway clear to me. He called me to Florida International University. Although I did not know why initially, God showed me through the ministry of Campus Bible Fellowship. God used CBF to help me view the campus as my own personal mission field. With over 30,000 students, many lost and searching, from countries all over the world, the need is great.
I have found great encouragement in my walk with Christ from CBF. It became a place for me to find other Christian students and develop godly friendships when I felt like the only Christian on campus. CBF also became a place to bring my unsaved college friends to show them what God has already done for them. Furthermore, through CBF, I have had numerous opportunities to witness to friends and strangers and give my testimony (even when I thought I was too shy, the Lord gave me courage). The weekly Bible studies and relationships have strengthened my own relationship with Christ and have kept me from veering off His path.
As I see my graduation nearing, I hope to continue to be active with Campus Bible Fellowship and continue to be a light for these college students.
