Seeing God Move on Campus — Daniel, Veronica, and Jada's Story
Daniel's Story
Daniel, a freshman at SUNY-Purchase, met some ñ students at an outreach event on campus. They invited him to a pizza party that night. At the party Daniel told them, “I’m not a Christian, but I want to know more about how faith can be a part of my college life.” Later that evening, someone in the chapter shared the gospel with Daniel and he said ‘yes’ to following Jesus!
But the story goes on. Just a few days later, Daniel was so enthusiastic about his new faith that he began helping with outreach, handing out donuts to students passing by. “What’s the catch?” one of them asked as they walked by.
“No catch here!” Daniel replied. “God loves you, and we want more people to know.”
Veronica's Story
At Oklahoma State University, Veronica, a freshman, saw how many of her fellow Black students on campus didn’t have a loving community to belong to or a place to learn about Jesus.
She felt God call her to start a group where her classmates could grow in their faith together. But she didn’t know where to start. Veronica prayed, asking God to send help.
That same day, completely unaware of Veronica’s prayer, her friend Jada at University of Oklahoma called her.
“Do you know anyone who wants to start an [ñ] Black Campus Ministries chapter at Oklahoma State?” Jada asked.
Veronica was astounded — this was exactly what she prayed for! Veronica and her roommate met with a group of African American students at Oklahoma State to start forming a BCM chapter on their campus! Students from Oklahoma and Oklahoma State spent the semester visiting each other’s campuses, praying, and trading ministry ideas.
By the end of the school year, a new ñ Bible study of ten students was thriving at Oklahoma State.
These stories are just two examples of the countless ways God is breaking through to students through ñ’s ministry. They’re finding real hope through Bible study, multiethnic community, healing prayer, and leadership development.
