Friends, I thought that this was a testimony worth sharing. I just wanted to share another encouraging story with you about a guy named Chris James, who everyone affectionately refers to as "Biggie." Chris is a sophomore in Kappa Alpha fraternity, a transfer from the University of Richmond where he had a full ride to play football. Chris graduated from Charlotte Christian High School. Recently Chris made a decision to follow Jesus. I have attached a brief version of his testimony. Please be praying for Chris as our UNCC staff try to begin leading him and helping him walk with God. Chris has been going into the freshman dorms and sharing his testimony with students. It is very encouraging and I am very thankful for what God is doing!
"On Monday February 9 2010, I can officially and with a big smile on my face tell the world that I became a Christian. My journey to this change in my life was not an easy road, and it took many hardships in order for me to finally open my eyes and see the truth. The lord lead me to begin my college career at the University of Richmond, where I played football and ended up winning a national championship, but that didn't end up working out so he lead me to UNCC, where I thought the key to happiness was the fraternity life. But the life that I went down lead to nothing but heavy drinking and drug use. This lifestyle broke me down inside and i found myself staring at myself in the mirror looking at a soul that had no purpose. I kept wondering why I was so depressed because i had everything in this world that one could want. I had plenty of friends, a loving family, and been blessed athletically, but with all of those things I was still so empty inside. But by the grace of God he revealed himself to me and I accepted Jesus as my personal lord and savior. Big thanks to the cuties at Campus Outreach for helping me grow in my faith and help guide me through this transition phase in my life, and helping me to find Gods purpose in my life."
