Philip recently became a Christian and has experienced tremendous spiritual growth from faithfully reading the Bible every day. He has overcome his fear of evangelism and started witnessing to coworkers, feeling compelled to spread the good news as a follower of Christ. The document discusses how inspiring Philip's journey is and how we can all learn from his example to devote ourselves to God's word and have a heart for sharing the gospel with lost souls.
This weekend we celebrate the First Sunday of Advent and the beginning of a new liturgical year. Once again, we hear from Mark’s Gospel and the need to be awake, alert and always watching? But what are we watching for…and whatever it is, could it be where we least expect to find it? And how can the story of two boys who run Cross Country Track – one of who is blind, help us to see in a new way?

I wanted to introduce you to Philip! He became a Christian around three months ago, and I have been so inspired by him.
I physically feel impacted when I talk to him, because I know that he is absolutely convinced in what he is saying. Here is a
little bit of what he shared with me:
“Ever since my conversion as a follower of Christ, I've begun to develop a passion that I never
thought I would for studying the Bible! I can't even describe into words the exponential
amount of spiritual growth I have been experiencing. I have been faithfully reading the word
(slowly and carefully) each and every single day, and it has been nothing short of remarkable!
From this, I have been starting to overcome my fear of evangelism to others, and even started
to witness to a few of my co-workers in the office.
We MUST do our part as true followers of Christ to go out and spread the good news. I can't waste anymore time in
my life on this earth! God has been placing a great burden in my heart everyday for those who are lost. Just walking
through the streets everyday makes me sorrowful for all the lost souls that go past me! Christ has remarkably
changed my once cynical heart, in order to start loving others just the way He did.”
It is great to be around people like Philip! He is just starting his journey, and still
has a lot to experience - but there is something so compelling and powerful that
many of us can learn from! We all need to fan the flame to devour God’s word
and kindle afresh a heart for the lost souls that pass us everyday!
Philip is one of those dream students that we reach out to. College students are
starting their lives as young adults and are solidifying the trajectory for the rest
of their lives! (their values, their patterns for relating with others, and the
spiritual lives.) The college years hold so many defining moments in their lives,
and we are grateful we can help students navigate those years!
“I can’t waste anymore time!”
dang - this guy is awwwesome!!
We are thankful to partner with you - to reach people like Philip!
