As we approach Thanksgiving, we are thankful for the students God continues to draw into our university ministries. We see many who are growing deeper in their faith as they study the scriptures through Bible courses and fellowship with other Christians. Some are searching and hearing the truth of the Gospel in meaningful ways for the first time.
