I became a believer in high school, but XA is where I learned<br>\n      to walk the path of the believer. The course of my life was changed because<br>\n      an intern from XA decided to talk to a young, purple-haired, freshman while<br>\n      he was taking a nap outside. This is my third year in college, and my&nbsp;third<br>\n      year in XA. Last spring break I had the privilege to go on a XA mission<br>\n      trip, led by Glen Davis, to South Beach Miami. A good word to use when describing<br>\n      Glen is knowledgeable. When mentioning him to others I often say, If&nbsp;its<br>\n      a book, Glen has read it. But knowing about God only takes you so&nbsp;far;<br>\n      knowing God is much more important. Both of these kinds of knowledge are<br>\n      displayed through Glen. I really saw this during the mission trip. We&nbsp;did<br>\n      some witnessing on the campus of the University of Miami. While we&nbsp;were<br>\n      there, Glen did some open air preaching. This was not hell-fire and brimstone<br>\n      stuff, but the respectable, honest addressing of questions people had&nbsp;about<br>\n      Christianity and Jesus. Not only does an activity like this take gall,&nbsp;but<br>\n      also it takes authentic wisdom to do it effectively. Needless to say,&nbsp;Glen<br>\n      knows his stuff. But as I mentioned earlier, knowledge about God can&nbsp;only<br>\n      take you so far. Glens knowledge of God is displayed just as much. We&nbsp;did<br>\n      homeless ministry in South Beach. We did more than just tell these people<br>\n      about Gods love for them; we actually demonstrated it in a practical way<br>\n      (James 2:15\u201317) by feeding them and listening to them. Whenever I have&nbsp;a<br>\n      question about, generally anything, Glen is almost always the first person<br>\n      I go to. Glen and Paula are both really great, God-following people. And<br>\n      I would be saying that even if they werent letting me do my laundry at<br>\n      their&nbsp;home.&nbsp;\ud83d\ude42<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chi Alpha has rocked the very foundation of my life. 35mm lens on canon digital camera It provided an outlet for God to take a prideful, backsliding kid who enjoyed playing church and turn him into someone who is constantly seeking and following after God.
