John Lose
Baptist Student Ministry at the University of Delaware, and the college ministry at Ogletown had a big impact on my life. I came to college set on living life my own way and was doing a pretty good job at it. Growing up, I had heard stories of Jesus but I doubted they were true. I had no real faith. In college, I developed a good friendship with a fellow engineering student who was a Christian. He would try to talk to me about faith or Jesus but I usually just made fun of him and we would get back to homework. Little did I know he and his campus minister had been praying for me for months.
After some time, my attitude toward Jesus began to change. I was initiating more of the faith conversations with my friend and had a growing desire to know what was true. Not long after everything changed.
I believed. I was saved.
These ministries didn’t just play a role in my salvation, it played a major role after I was saved, too. They adopted me as their own, providing a place to go for fellowship, friendship, ministering and discipleship. They gave me the counseling I needed to share Christ with my roommates, classmates and famiIy. I spent my senior year being discipled and now I am living to please God. I now pray that God will use these ministries as well as Ogletown Baptist to rescue others like me.
Baptist Student Ministry at the University of Delaware exists to reach students with the gospel of Jesus Christ, connect them to a local church community, and disciple them toward spiritual maturity. LEARN MORE
