HOW CAN WE SHARE CHRIST AND SHOW LOVE THROUGH

THE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM?

As an international student from India, Isaac* quickly made friends through “Time for Chai,” a Baptist Student Ministry (BSM) program at Texas A&M University in College Station. He attended events every Friday night for tea, cookies and games; but soon enough, Isaac’s friends at the BSM began sharing the Gospel with him. For Isaac, coming to faith took time and much prayer. In the summer of 2017, after the loss of his grandfather, grandmother and best friend, Isaac turned to his friends at the BSM and started asking questions. As the fall semester began, Isaac’s friends began to invite him to church and Bible study. They answered all of Isaac’s spiritual questions and comforted him during his time of loss. His heart began to soften, and after months of being poured into, he accepted Christ as his Savior. Because our church gives through the Cooperative Program, we support ministries like the BSM that share the Gospel and disciple students. Let’s pray that Isaac would grow in his faith and that his family would come to know Christ.
