Nearly 1000 Students Attended the MAZE!!!! :)

This morning before I headed to campus I spent some time thinking about the result of the MAZE coming to campus. At that time I knew that God must be working in people's lives but had not heard of a specific story of life change. So I prayed. I asked the Lord that during my time on campus I would cross paths with someone who needed to speak more of Christ. He answered in a big way through a lunch date with a freshman named Taylor.

Taylor is petite, when I hugged her I swallowed her 5ft frame. Her tiny frame and beautiful appearance make it easy to picture her as the cheerleader and dance team member that she was through high school. She is a dietition major and strate 'A' student. It sounded like nothing interferes with her study, yet upon receiving a flyer for the MAZE on Monday she decided to check it out. Here is a summary of our conversation below.

"I have not been to church in over a year. However, I have done the 'right thing' my whole life. I study hard, don't party or drink but I am not happy. I am looking for change in my life. I know that someone could go to church every day of their life and that will not change them. I came to the maze because I received the flier on campus and thought it might be a cool magic show. I was encouraged to find so much more. Jim talked about God in a way that I have never heard before. He said that religion is not about 'doing,' it is about who we are to be. I wonder about that question and have not found the answer yet. After hearing what you (staff) say, I know that I have no other questions. I want to ask Jesus into my life to change me."

I shared how Taylor could experience change in her life today. In the middle of the chaos of 12 oclock lunch our in UK's Student Center, Taylor prayed and relinquished control of her life to Christ. She shared that she had wanted to get plugged into a Christian group on campus, but until the Maze, she didn't know where to look. Now she is excited to join Bible study and to meet with me more to discuss her new life in Christ.
