Testimonies from the end of Spring 2017
I really appreciate Christians on Campus, it helps me tremendously in my spiritual growth through the word and also pursuing with others with the same goal. Christ our life!

Christians on Campus has been a blessing for me this semester. It’s helped me stay focused on God’s word and gain new friends. I’ve truly enjoyed fellowshipping with people that also love God.

Christians on Campus has helped my relationship with Christ grow more than I thought it would. Because of this club I have met people I will never forget, and just by being with them, we are able to encourage each other in our faith.
M.P.
I think that sometimes in our daily lives, we get so caught up with our own objectives that we loose sight of God. However, when I was with this group, I became motivated to grow closer to God due to the fact that everyone around me had that same passion to share testimonies, opinions, and knowledge in regards to Christian topics. The friendships I’ve made through them will always be the highlight of my college career.

It has help me lots to grow in spiritual way because of all the things we do in club.

Forming a Closer Relationship With the Lord
I was always a believer growing up in my childhood. I just didn’t form a close relationship with God until I got to college. With Christians on Campus, I have found inner peace and calm by reading the daily emails in the Bible Reading Challenge and attending the Monday Bible Studies. I was sort of an angry kid growing up. I didn’t have the Lord in my heart even though I always believed in him. I believed, but I didn’t really feel. Now, I’m much more happy and optimistic from being in a closer relationship with the Lord. I’m really thankful Christians on Campus has given me the opportunity to be in a closer relationship with the Lord. I plan to continue in my relationship with the Lord all throughout the rest of my life. I’m finding inner peace and calm. I’m feeling the Lord now. 🙂

Stronger Bond with God
When I first started with Christians on Campus I was so nervous and shy but they make you feel right at home so I got out of that shell quick. The part I enjoyed most was the excitement that they brought getting close to God, thanks to meeting and joining Christians on Campus I got baptized and I feel like my bond with God has gotten stronger! I could never thank the Lord enough for meeting these people.

Seeing more of the Body of Christ
The conference and all the Bible Studies throughout the week are very encouraging and uplifting. It encourages me to keep feeding my spirit. The word of God is so strong, I couldn’t get enough. The conference was touching; I got to meet new people and fellowship with other believers. The body of Christ is big.

Experiences in Christ
Experiences in Christ are wonderful things and the only thing we should care for. He gives peace in our heart and shows His wonderful work in so many things. It may be to test our faith in him, never because he doesn’t love us. And keep in mind that if you stay strong and believe in Jesus Christ even if you fall so deep down, even if you feel alone, let me tell you that you are not alone; He is always there. The thing is that we focus on things that are of this world that do not allow us see the real honest friend who is Jesus Christ! And also if we show to God how much we trust in Him, He will show His love through the worst disaster day in our lives. He shows it by protecting us always.

Abiding in the Word
I am so glad that I participated in Christians on Campus at North Lake College because this club enriched my Christian life tremendously. When I first met with Christians on Campus I had been a believer in Jesus Christ for about three months and so, motivated by a strong curiosity, I began to attend their Thursday Bible studies. I am so grateful to the Lord for this opportunity and His leading me to participate in these Bible studies because with other believers I came to grow in my understanding of the Word of God. Since I was just a new believer in the Lord, I did not understand many passages in the Bible, but fortunately many believers aided me and encouraged me in my daily readings of the Word of God and also welcomed me to come to the small group Bible study sessions. In these Bible study groups, as the Apostle Paul writes in one of his epistles, I came to greater value “the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8).
In these Bible studies, believers engage in thorough discussions about biblical texts in an atmosphere where believers feel comfortable asking and answering questions and boldly expressing their faith in Jesus Christ. As a new believer, this was certainly my own experience because I had tons of questions about the faith that needed to be answered, and they certainly were. Even though now I have been a Christian for almost two years I keep having questions about the Bible but I also have, by the Lord’s mercy, faithful lovers of the Lord who are glad to share the Holy Scriptures with me. What a joy it is to freely speak to one another about our wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ, who saved us by his mercy alone.
The apostle Paul wrote in his epistle to the Colossians that we should “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Colossians 3:16). Christians on Campus has been a blessing because the word of Christ has dwelt in me more richly by being near other lovers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not only have I enjoyed these Bible study sessions, but I also have attended various conferences and weekly meetings at the houses of different believers. I have been so blessed in participating in Christians on Campus at North Lake College because, with the encouragement of other believers, I have been able to obey the exhortation of Jesus himself when He said “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)

Running the Race at North Lake College
My name is Chris Clark, and I went to North Lake College for two years. During that time I was involved with Christians on Campus. The two best things about the club for me were having an outlet to connect with other Christians and the self-paced Bible studies.
Anyone who has been a Christian for a while knows how important it is to have Christian friends to spend time with. These companions will encourage you in your Christian life and keep you on the right path. I found the most genuine and faithful Christians at Christians on Campus who were willing to help me with anything I needed
The self paced bible studies were also very uplifting for me. They fit it around my schedule and met me whereever the most convenient place was. Usually, it was the cafeteria, but at times it was elsewhere. I told them what books I was interested in and we read it together. This kind of weekly or bi-weekly study of the bible was a great escape from the pressures of college life.
