“Hey, we’re looking for people who love Jesus and want to share their faith with people on campus. Is that you?”

As we seek to build spiritual movements on every campus is the Sacramento area and beyond, we trust that the Lord is already working and raising up students who want to reach their campus with the gospel. Though it can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, the Lord has been faithful to help us find these students.

One day in March, our team was searching for students at Sacramento City College. One of our staff members, Lucas, stopped a student walking by and asked him the question above. Slightly stunned, the student said, “Yeah, that’s me. I’ve actually been praying that God would give me more opportunities to share my faith. My name is Slavik.”

Slavik moved from Ukraine to Sacramento when he was a young kid. He got involved in a church when he was in high school that encouraged him to share his faith. With this in mind, he decided that he would go to college with the purpose of reaching the lost.

Lucas taught Slavik to share his faith using the Knowing God Personally booklet through an app on his phone called GodTools. “This is so easy,” Slavik said. “It’s all laid out for you.” Now that he was equipped and encouraged, he took is friend out to Old Town Sacramento to share the gospel with people. Slavik was already passing on what he had learned.

Slavik hopes to train people in his church’s college ministry to share their faith using the GodTools app. Many of those students attend Sac City, Sierra College, and Sacramento State. “This is why we’re here: to share the gospel with people. I want to see more and more people sharing their faith on campus.”

Pray with us and Slavik that God would use him to fulfill his vision.

Thank you so much for being part of mobilizing students to share the gospel with those who don’t know Jesus on college campuses and beyond!

Prayer Requests

Thank the Lord for raising up Slavik at Sac City College.

Praise the Lord! This school year we’ve seen 13 students indicate decisions to trust the Lord!

Pray that the Lord would raise up exponentially more students to share the gospel at every campus in Sacramento and beyond.

Pray for students to walk with Jesus deeply over the summer and to continue sharing their faith.

Pray for the Lord to work in the lives of incoming freshmen and give them a burden to reach their campus.

Pray that the Lord would raise up student leaders at schools where we don’t currently have anyone sharing the gospel. Specifically, pray for University of Nevada – Reno, Sierra College, Woodland Community College and Yuba College.
