It was almost the end of a two week mission trip with Student Life. Blake and the other students were tired. He tried to pay attention to the ‘working with Student Life’ session, although he’d heard it before. Then one of the missionaries said, ‘Working with Student Life, you can have a real impact in people’s lives.’ Those words hit Blake in a powerful way because he had experienced that firsthand - he’d become a Christian through Student Life team members spending time with him, answering his questions, and investing in him.
