VT-One

This weekend I had the opportunity to attend a university wide gathering that welcomed all Christians to come out and worship together. There is a team of people from the different campus ministries that put their heads together to organize and advertise these events. These events have been going on every semester since the fall of my freshman year. They’ve been well attended and well done. There are a lot of people behind the scenes putting this together and it is easy to see how hard they work. I think the unique aspect of VT-One is that the idea to get all the campus ministries together to worship came from a student. God gave a student the idea to gather all the campus ministries to worship God together and repent of our sins.

What an idea.

I think that VT-One will make a direct impact on the campus of Virginia Tech because all the campus ministries are willing to put aside their differences. This is huge. Just like churches in the local community, there are similar differences and prejudices in the campus ministry community. We as campus ministries are just as competitive. I also think that the campus of Virginia Tech will also reap the harvest of Saturday night because the Christians humbled themselves and got ourselves together spiritually. VT-One is an attempt to refocus our efforts and open our eyes to the non Christian students around us.

My hope and prayer is that events like VT-One will show the greater church community that it is possible to work together. We’re all on the same team and we need to realize it. It would be neat to see that if the Christians of Virginia Tech will take the spirit of VT-One with them when they become full time members of their local churches. What a spirit to take. What a potential impact.
