Lauree Cross; Student Life at the University of Waikato

In January 2005 I shifted from being part of Student Life Auckland to being part of Student Life Waikato. Well I've survived being South of the Bombay's for almost 2 years. The campus, the students, the surroundings, are all different, but one thing stays the same; people still need Jesus!

Despite initial impressions I have seen that many students are thinking about the spiritual side of life. It's so neat to see God at work in their hearts and lives as I come alongside them and explore with them who Jesus is, and how He is relevant to them personally.  

It is so exciting to get to do what I do on campus! I get to talk to people about Jesus; His death, life & resurrection and what that means for us personally! I get to see God at work in students lives! I get to see students coming to Christ, built up in their faith, trained to share that faith and then ultimately being sent to impact others for Christ... and to start the process all over again!
