A Leader Engages the Lost...
I’m pretty much a type-A personality. I am the photo editor of The Harvard Crimson,
a member of the Freshman Advisory Board, and helped launch DREAM, a studentrun
weekly mentoring program with children from a local housing complex. Although
I enjoy being part of many activities, it’s hard to let go and let God take the lead.
Through Harvard College Faith and Action (HCFA) Bible Courses, the mentoring of
the ministry staff, and discussions with fellow students, I’ve learned how to prayerfully
discern how to invest my time. A recent leadership opportunity was the summer
reading program sponsored by HCFA, which enabled Christian and atheist students to
dialogue about two books, Atheist Delusions and The God Delusion. Through this
engagement, HCFA members were able to dispel commonly held stereotypes about
Christianity and share the most important truth there is, the Gospel, to a largely
unbelieving, skeptical audience. This project reminded me of how important it is for
Christian students to take a leadership role on campus.
