College Life

I have yet to graduate so I really know little about college life. All I know are stories and experiences I hear from friends. This weekend a friend invited me to visit with her at college over the holiday weekend. College is a world of its own. Many people go crazy when they go to college. I guess how you react to all the ungody influences depends on your personality type and the people you choose as your closest friend. There is a strong group of Christians on the campus that really just want to reach out to the other students, build relationships, share with them the hope of Christ, and disciple them. It is truly amazing. Although they all have to face and learn aweful things in their classes, they are accountable to each other. They do Bible studies together, minister together, do fun things together, learn together, and grow together. They don't look at college life as freedom from their families but a time of accountablilty to God. The college campus to them is their mission field.
