Fall 2011 Campus Missions Report

INTRODUCTION:  This past week we had the glorious privilege to preach the glorious gospel at Western Carolina University, Appalachain State University, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and North Carolina State University.

Western Carolina University

At WCU, we encountered several atheists, many homosexuals, and even a Buddhist; but all of them listened well, asked great questions, and interacted productively.  After we finished preaching they clapped for us!  

This crowd grew to about twice this size at one point.

After I finished preaching, the students surrounded me for follow-up questions

The following video is a sample of what was going on at WCU (sound quality poor):

Appalachain State University

On Wednesday, we headed to ASU and while we were setting up, a "shock and awe" preacher showed up.  These men are usually Pelagian in their doctrine and bring a message of condemnation.  These types of preachers oftentimes get a large crowd in a short period of time.  Usually the crowd gets extremely angry and I'm sad to say, its not necessarily because they aren't speaking any Biblical truth, but they fail to speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:15).  Nevertheless, the cops came and told the man to move locations, his crowd followed, and we started preaching on the other side of the campus lawn and eventually his crowd slowly came to us.  We had 30-60 students at one time asking excellent questions.  We had several unbelievers come up to us and thank us for being there and when we finished preaching for the day, the students clapped for us and then thanked us for being there.

It was a joy to preach at my home base, but as usual, the students were apathetic.  Here's a clip of brother Scott Smith preaching the word in front of the education building:


Then I preached for a while:

North Carolina State University

It was cold when we preached at NCSU, but we lifted up the name of Christ:

IN CONCLUSION, we thank God for the opportunity to lift up Christ's name before hundreds of unbelievers.  Many of them thanked us for the reasonable interaction and we pray God will use the proclamation of the word to glorify Himself and bring many of the elect into the Kingdom.
