Hearts for service
A big theme at our Christmas Conference this year was social justice and God’s heart for the poor. In the middle of the conference, the stundents went out on the “day of faith” and gave themselves to serve the people of Denver. Many students spent the day interacting with the homeless and poor.
Now back in Nebraska, those students are serving their campuses and communities. Praise God for highly motivated students who are going after what God has put on their hearts! This past Saturday, a group of about 14 students from Concordia in Seward came to Lincoln and volunteered some time at the Lincoln City Mission. They sorted through piles of donations and had a great time doing it! This is one of the big reasons why I love working with college students so much: they embrace God’s heart for the world and then truly act on their desire to see change.
A big part of my job is motivating students and equipping them to minister to their fellow students. Sometimes though, I am just thankful for and love the chance to come alongside what students are already excited about and partner with them. =)
