Seeking Opportunities to Share Christ’s Love
I’m a first-year student, and while I feel excited about this new chapter in my life, I also feel nervous about how to express my faith to my peers. I want to share the love of Christ with others but don’t know where to start. I see many students struggling with their own battles and wish I could be a source of encouragement for them. I pray for courage to initiate conversations about faith, and that God would open doors for me to connect with others who need hope. I deeply desire to be a reflection of Christ’s love in the lives of my classmates and to show them the hope that I’ve found in Him. Please pray that I can find the right moments to step out in faith and share my story.
Pastor's Response

Senior Pastor, Bethel Church
Dear Jessica, I applaud your eagerness to share Christ’s love with your new peers. It’s a blessing to be in an environment where you can influence others positively. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. God is with you every step of the way. Romans 1:16 encourages us that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. Embracing this truth can empower you to step out with confidence in sharing your story. You don't have to have all the answers; simply being yourself and sharing your experiences can have a profound impact on those around you. As you seek to encourage others, consider praying for specific opportunities to serve, as acts of kindness often open doors for deeper conversations. Philippians 2:4 reminds us to look not only to our own interests but also to the interests of others. This mindset can lead to beautiful interactions. I will be praying for you, that God will provide you with the courage and opportunities to shine your light brightly for Him.
