Omar García, a Senior Sociology student at B.U.A.P wrote the following :
I had never really heard of Campus Crusade for Christ. The truth is, I found it at just the right time. I still remember going through one of the cafeterias on campus and finding a poster with this question. “ Do you relate to this symbol?” I was a picture of a Jesus fish. At the time, I was emotionally unstable and in fact my spiritual life was stagnant. Some situations overwhelmed me and I was considering the possibility of distancing myself from Christianity. A few months before, I was completely involved in my local church ministry. I do not doubt for a minute though that in God’s infinite mercy, he had planned something for me. I knew it more than ever. I realized that even if I walked away from him, he would never leave me. I decided to find out what the poster was about and went to the meeting. I liked the idea of knowing that maybe I would learn something.
Now I know and obey God more than before. Also, I definitely trust Him more. I have learned to expand my view about serving God. I have understood the importance of ministries beyond what is traditionally known as a church, the place where we gather.
What I enjoy most is spending time with people who love God and encourage me to grow in my relationship with Him. Now, I am in a Bible study with Luis. The author Henry T. Blackaby said, "A love relationship with God is more important than any other single factor in our life. " I believe that one of the important aspects of Campus Crusade is to help promote deep and meaningful relationships through fellowship and friendships. I have witnessed the importance of this in the student community.
I also believe that God has challenged me to completely depend on Him. In the past, I trusted in my own strength for what I could do for Him. Now, I see the things He can do for and through me. My outlook has changed. I am also learning that the more we recognize the Lord in our lives, the more we can appreciate his wonders. We also appreciate his unique and abundant mercy, kindness and love manifested in every area of our life. Also in his infinite love, he will give us a clear direction for living.I should add that I admire the way people spend their time, effort and even money to the work for God. I mean those who work for the ministry of Campus Crusade and of course those who support them. Henry T. Blackaby said: "You need to reorient your lives to God's purposes. His purposes go far beyond time to eternity. If you do not recognize that God has created you for eternity, you will invest in the wrong things." I have no doubt that the best thing is to invest in His kingdom ...
