Alex, a biophysics major and 5th year graduating senior from UCLA, is one of the students that will be missed greatly when he graduates this year.  Alex became a believer in 2012 through another student, Justin, in the ministry we have at UCLA.  Alex has grown greatly in his faith and desire to follow Jesus with his life.  He loves worship, singing, beat box and brings joy and fun to the students at UCLA!  About a month ago Alex had an desire to reach out on the UCLA campus in a tangible way to the fraternities.  He shared his testimony at our weekly meeting and challenged students to put God’s love into action.  He wanted to show God’s love to the fraternities and He encouraged all of the students to participate in this act of service and to realize that these non-believers may never have encountered students who love Jesus before and it would be an opportunity to witness to them.  

We broke into teams and handed out cookies/water; asked to clean the fraternities and  prayed for the students.  The outreach began at midnight and went until about 3am—as the campus came alive with students going out for the night.

It was an encouraging time to see the students involved in the ministry reach out to their fellow classmates, pray for them and gain a deeper heart to see those around them come to know Jesus.  The Lord granted many surprised reactions from those we connected with—appreciating the love being shown to them.

We love to see students, like Alex, have a passion for Jesus and a desire to FINISH WELL their years on the college campus in the ministry God has called them to with those around him.

 UCLA students gathered to pray and ended the night praising God. All were super tired !
