Collin’s Story: Leadership Through Faith

Collin stood out at Campus Life from the beginning. Already grounded in his faith, he wasn’t just seeking community – he was looking for ways to grow into leadership. When asked about his future, he expressed a clear vision: he wanted to become a Campus Life leader like his mentor, Sarah

Rather than keeping his faith journey to himself, Collin took active steps toward leadership development. He requested his own Youth for Christ 3-Story Bible, eager to deepen his understanding to share with others. Within a week, he was reading daily, preparing himself for the role he envisioned. “I’m excited to be finally reading and understanding the Bible!” he told Sarah, showing his enthusiasm for growth.

His mentor recognized this spark, encouraging him not just to grow personally but to think about peers he could invite to Campus Life and pray for them. Collin’s story shows how one mentor can inspire a young person to grow and help others.
