We make followers of Jesus and help his followers grow

Christ’s Church at Virginia Tech campus ministry

is a non-denominational Christian community of students who:

--believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God

--believe the Bible is the infallible Word of the one and only true God, and therefore embrace it as our first & final authority for faith & practice as it contains all the truth needed for salvation and living in Christ. (2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12)

--strive to put our faith in action, to keep growing in our knowledge and love for God, and to transform our world by living as Jesus lived. (James 2:14-26, Colossians 1:9-12, Romans 12:1-2)

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." -- Isaiah 40:8

Praying for You

I just got done praying this prayer for all the students on CCVT's email list this year. It comes straight from the Bible -- Colossians 1:9-14. It says:

"We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins." (New Living Translation)

This was the Apostle Paul's prayer for the Christians in Colossae. May all this come true in your life, too. 

We'll be talking about this tonight at CCVT's "Oasis". I hope you can join us.

"Oasis" meets every Thursday night at 7:15 at CCVT's campus house which is right on the edge of campus, just one block from Lee Hall -- about a 2-3 minute walk for most of you if you live on campus. If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only 100 yards from the Washington Street tennis courts bus stop. For a map & simple directions just look on the right side of your screen under the photo of the house. If you're still not clear on how to get here after looking at that (any directions can be a challenge when you are new to campus) give me a call at 540-552-8292 and I'll help you out. But it's really pretty easy to find. 


Hope you can make it tonight. 

God bless.
