Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. Romans 10:1

The whisper of God, telling us the calling on our lives to the secular college campus, came four years ago.  We 
desire to invade the freshman class at Penn State University with the love of Jesus Christ.  What does this look
like?  Sitting in a crowded dorm room opening up the bible and letting those who do not yet know Christ talk
about God's word and ask questions...intensely talking on a futon about forgiveness, love, pain, life, sin, godly
decisions, and so on...challenging a follower of Christ to share Jesus with their friends, teaching them to lead
bible studies, and listening to their hearts...organizing retreats that draw students' hearts closer to Christ...asking a student if they're ready to give their life to Jesus. 
 
Along with all this we plan to vigorously train to run a campus ministry, that has no staff, to take the love of Christ to more students.  The fundraising piece also continues as long as we're with the Navigators.  Getting together with those whose hearts want to see students come to know Jesus delights us, to pray with and for them encourages us greatly. 
 
E-mail us on the contact page.  We'd love to hear from each of you.

Will you accept this rose - God
  This summer, as many of you know, we lead the freshman ministry.  At one of the bible studies Eric asked the students, if God wrote a billboard what would he say to this generation.  One of the students put something so profound.  Many of you may or may not know what the Bachelor/Bachelorette, but the gist of it is this.  There is a guy or girl who is looking for their husband or wife.  Each week they decide who they want to keep getting to know until the final week when they give one person the rose and the guy can purpose to the girl.   Basically, when they give a rose to a girl or guy they are saying to them, "I choose you."

God is saying to you...(insert your name), I choose you!  How amazing is that!!!  He chose you to be with him for eternity. :)  And we're here on campus to tell others that, and I encourage you to tell others at work, school, etc.!  It says it right in his word...
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.  In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will...
Ephesians 1:4-7, 11
