As a first year student at UT, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Christian Students on Campus. Despite these uncertainties, I consistently prayed to develop a deeper relationship with the Lord by finding companions that could encourage me in my walk with Christ. God definitely answered my prayer, but in a bigger way than I ever could have imagined. The relationships I have developed with other Christians, the fellowship opportunities I have been able to experience, and the messages I have listened to over the past week and a half exceed my previous hopes of merely “finding Christian friends.”
“Welcome Week,” consisting of several worship services and fellowship events, provided new students with a chance to get acclimated to the club and meet other students and staff members. The first event was a welcome back dinner in the Sanchez building. Focusing on verses one through five of Mark 2, the message following dinner emphasized the importance of having at least four friends that will bring you to Jesus. The simple but monumental point of these verses made me realize that being a Christian and growing in spiritual maturity isn’t something we can do as individuals. Instead, we need to function as the body of Christ.
