God is on the move in the Greek System

Guest post by Donan


I had the great privilege of attending Greek Conference in Indianapolis, February 8-10.  Greek Conference is like nothing else I’ve ever experienced as the conference is geared fully towards fraternity and sorority students.  From the late night schedule to the club-feel dance party on Saturday night, Greek Conference is very Greek.
I also see more people respond to Jesus at Greek Conference than any other time of year.  I’m in awe of the sheer number of students who decide to follow Jesus for the first time or recommit to following Jesus.  God is transforming the fraternity and sorority system one student at a time.  Praise the Lord!

Indy 2013: There were 735 attendees from a record 65 campuses
 
53 Decided for the first time to follow Jesus
366 Reconnected* in relationship with Jesus; committing to fully following Him
315 Will lead* or help start a ministry in their chapter to reach their friends
93 Seek* more information about Jesus and commit to pursuing answers back on campus
 
*This number is based of the representative sampling of the survey respondents on Sunday morning.  Due to airport shuttle departures, some students taking their commitment card home, and other's not understanding what was being asked, the responses collected were substantially lower than normal requiring a pro-ratio calculation of the total impact.
