CCO Campus Ministry

Eric Ling

“I am where I am today because of my time at the CCO. The CCO encouraged me to understand the Christian worldview, that church was not a place and God was not to be placed in a box of religiosity. As a result, my faith permeates every decision I make and has brought me to where I am.”

“The Jubilee conference and conversations with Renée opened my eyes to how my faith in Jesus mattered to every area of life. Jubilee helped me see Jesus and a biblical worldview as they relate to all of life. My faith became stronger and began to make more sense out of the world and my role in it.”

“I’d been a Christian my whole life, but had been in a church that valued missionary and pastoral work as the highest calling. At Jubilee, people were talking about how you could serve God in all occupations in life. I was continually amazed hearing presentations from people who were ‘redeeming’ banking, media, etc. It was how it was supposed to be!”

“The CCO’s ministry gave me a very broad view of God and our calling to change the world as Christians. Without Gene and the CCO, I don’t think I would have developed that perspective. The churches I attended growing up focused much more on ‘God and you’ rather than ‘what is God doing in the world and how can we change the world for the better?’”

“When Jen arrived my senior year, I helped lead worship for the fellowship, and I started going to church with her. She started a discipleship group which I attended, and that’s when everything really began to make sense to me. I didn’t really understand how to read the Bible until Jen came. She helped me see things in a new light.”

“Without the CCO’s ministry, I would not have been the faithful student that I was. Where else would I have been challenged to use creative writing to the glory of God? God cares about my academics and my creativity and art? God has campus ministers who go to poetry readings and chat with students afterwards?”

“The Jubilee vision fundamentally shaped my life. In my job as a pastor, I understand that my work is about calling people in whatever they do to be able to follow Christ. I understand that Jesus is Lord of everything. That’s what I learned from the CCO.”

“I attended Jubilee in February 2011 and, much as the theme suggested, it changed everything. I can confidently say my life was completely changed as a result of the decisions I made during and after attending Jubilee 2011.”

“The Jubilee conference was one of the first times that I realized I didn’t need to be in ministry in order to do ministry. Jubilee helped me understand that faith is an everyday, 24-hour thing, and is not just about going to church and studying the Bible. I need to live out my faith in everything I do.”

“The CCO has shaped every area of my Christian walk from birth on. Working for the CCO was the most formative part of my life and faith journey—the teaching, training, and fellowship of CCO staff, and the application of that learning was a catalyst for stretching me and accelerating my growth as a follower of Jesus beyond my wildest dreams.”
