Winter Conference is a gathering of college students experiencing Jesus, growing together in our faith, and discovering our place in the mission of God. While historically Winter Conference happens every year in multiple conference centers and ballrooms across the nation, this year it looked a bit different. On February 5 and 6, college students from Hawaii to Maine, from Florida to Alaska, gathered together for a special weekend in order to encounter Jesus. Students connected virtually to one live national broadcast from their living room, dorm room, church building, parent’s basement, or backyard. While it was a step into the unknown to host the conference like this, God moved in powerful ways!
6,292 students attended to understand and consider God’s Character, God’s Heart and God’s Call. The speakers lifted our eyes to consider the beauty, mercy, and grace of Jesus. They helped us to see the urgency of sharing with those around us. And they challenged us to discover our place in the mission of God in proclaiming the gospel to others. Here are a couple stories:
“I’ve had multiple friends on my heart that I’ve been praying for and desiring to share the gospel with. They’re unbelievers… After attending the conference, I feel much more equipped and on-fire to share my faith and approach them in a conversation.” —Kellen, University of Idaho freshman
After learning how to disciple and mentor others to multiply his spiritual impact, Zeke, a freshman at Asbury University, challenged five Christian friends to grow in their faith together. They’ve already begun meeting to learn how they can share the good news of Jesus with others!
We rejoice for the awesome ways God is at work in students’ lives. He is changing hearts and raising up lifelong laborers for the Kingdom of God. Thank you so much for your partnership, your prayers, and your generosity that make that possible!
