Reaching Students and Faculty on Campuses

The British university environment when C. S. Lewis was a professor at Oxford, was already skeptical and even scornful about Christianity. In the midst of that atheistic and agnostic terrain, he influenced his students for Christ, but he also knew that he could reach a lot more people with his writing, particularly through his stories, more than through his books on apologetics.

Our staff at Faculty Commons considers this book one of their most effective evangelistic tools. It continues to lead skeptical and atheistic professors to faith in Christ.

“… it was humble men, who had no public or media relevance before the collapse of the mine, who installed the quote of the event all the different media platforms all over the world. I suspect that ‘Thank you Lord!’ was the general feeling of the entire Chilean population. Continue reading Rescuing Men from Darkness

The Sower on CCCI.ORG (2010)

mikeandsus

Sus was honored that a friend, one of the writers for Campus Crusade’s main web site, ccci.org, asked if she could publish one of Sus’ blog entries from her online journal, The Sower. Our friend was interested in the July 7, 2010 post, “Can I Find God in a Church Like Yours?” where Sus describes a recent encounter Mike and she had with a young man in the middle of a street. We don’t want to spoil the story line; you can read the story for yourself on ccci.org, retitled as “Talking About Jesus in a Parking Lot”. While you … Continue reading The Sower on CCCI.ORG (2010)
