The Students Last week was the six-month anniversary of the shootings at Virginia Tech where twenty-seven students and five professors lost their lives. Knowing this, several Christian groups, including Campus Crusade, and twenty-five churches hosted a two-night event on the Virginia Tech campus. • Over 2,500 students, faculty and staff attended on Tuesday • Nearly 5,000 people came on Wednesday, an open-to-the-public event According to one report, over 1,000 response cards were received. The tone of the 2 nights also provided opportunities for believers to follow-up with friends they’d brought along. “God is working through the prayers of Christians all … Continue reading An Update on Virginia Tech
