How can I make a difference that will last for eternity? This is the question that 370 Student Life staff and students asked as we spent a week in Waikanae at LEGACY conference. Students from all over New Zealand and Fiji met together to celebrate 25 years of Student Life and to discuss how to continue to impact New Zealand and the world with the gospel.
The Lord really did some remarkable work specifically in the hearts of the students we minister to in Wellington. There were initially 24 students form our campuses that registered for the conference, but there were 29 who actually ended up coming!!! The time they spent together proved invaluable as we saw great community built and many step out in faith, making commitments to return to Wellington to lead Bible studies, remain active in sharing the Gospel, and even take part in short-term missions.
Leaving a legacy is about living for something that is bigger than ourselves. It’s about taking the message of Jesus Christ—a message that has been passed down from generation to generation—and sharing it in a relevant way with today’s generation.
We were privileged to have speaker Rodd Sawatzky [Above] join us from Canada. Rodd spoke passionately each morning and encouraged us to put God first in our lives, deal with sin and develop relationships with others that will help us to grow.
