Incoming LCU freshman urged to share their faith daily

Louisiana Baptist Executive Director Steve Horn recently urged incoming Louisiana Christian University freshman class to share their faith everyday on campus and beyond.

“If the gospel is going to advance, it’s going to advance because everybody takes the gospel,” Horn told the students inside Guinn Auditorium, Aug. 19. “Every Christian is a witness. That’s how we create a culture of evangelism.”

Horn’s message was part of Welcome Week that began Aug. 16 at LCU.

During the week, a total of 249 freshman have participated in service-learning projects, moving into their dormitories, a Baptist Collegiate Ministry worship service and more.

Basing his message on Acts 8, Horn said the early Christians and not the “professional Christian’s” were the first ones God sent out to share the gospel outside Jerusalem.

Horn said this can be accomplished if Christ followers are prayerful, bold, relational and prepared.
