Vision Night

Last night, over 50 students gathered in one of our staff houses for our vision night to kick off the school year. Andrew, our campus director, spoke about how before Christ we look to take from others and give to God. Apart from the Gospel, we are the focus or the center of our lives. That being the case, we look to satisfy our own desires so we take from others or use others to our own benefit. We then try to offer up the things we do to God in hopes that that is good enough. In the Gospel (when Christ is the center of our lives), we look to get from God and give to others. So the Gospel free us from self to God for others.
We spent time praying that God would use our student leaders (the 50 in the room) to impact other people with the Gospel. We are excited about what God could do at Northwestern's campus this school year. Our students seem to really have a desire to reach out to younger students with the truth of the Gospel. We are continuing to ask God to sustain and fulfill that desire.
