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.”

“To this day, I regard my skills and abilities, along with my tangible resources, as belonging to God, and merely entrusted to me to use for His kingdom. The weekly CCO-led fellowship meetings, weekend retreats, and the Jubilee conference were central to the development of this view of how I fit into the created order.”

“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.”

“My love of giving college students the big picture of the Kingdom is my favorite part of my job,” says Patrick Myers, Executive Director of Ligonier Camp and Conference Center. “I love what happens with campers, and the overall program, but my favorite part of my job is helping our college student staff members see the big picture and realize that everything they’re doing is about the Kingdom of God.”

“CCO staff members imparted to me a vision to help vulnerable members of society. Without the CCO’s influence, I don’t know if I would have developed a sense of consciousness about my own economic and spiritual privilege and the responsibility I have as a Christian to use my privilege for more than simply self-preservation.”

“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.”
