Goodbye Gayle

Our sister in Christ, Gayle Dubowski, was shot and killed at Northern Illinois University this past Thursday. Stephen Kazmierczak opened fire on a classroom full of students, killing 5, then killing himself.
Gayle is remembered as a joyful young woman devoted to God, her family and the church. (See more about her on facebook: type "Gayle Dubowski MEMORIAL - NIU Tragedy")

A disciple at Northern remembers Gayle, saying "I remember how happy she was at her Bible Talk about organizing the "Brothers Encouragement Night". She was so happy to serve the brothers...she was so eager. It was definitely refreshing to be around her." The Central Region campus sisters have been preparing a 'brothers encouragement' night for the last couple of weeks. Tonight, they dedicate their Valentine's encouragement to Gayle.

Also remembered of Gayle was her incredible soprano singing voice. However beautiful it was, we believe her earthly voice will pale in comparison to the voice she will sing with in heaven!

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4

My Old-Fashioned Valentine


This past Saturday, students from the different college ministries in the Los Angeles area got together for a good Ol' Fashioned Valentine dance and mixer. It was truly incredible to be around so many followers of Jesus Christ having fun together and dancing with complete purity. Many had dates to the dance and all the stories I have heard about the dates have been awesome. I, personally, was privileged to take an awesome new sister in Christ, Ashley to the dance. We had an amazing time and we were both encouraged having a blast at the dance and dinner beforehand with fellow believers in the Lord. It's truly inspiring to see so many young people and my peers serving and honoring God with their actions and with their mad dance skills.

USC Debater Concedes to Christ


She's multi-talented and has a deep love for God. Met by Marie last semester, Ashley came to the on-campus bible talk (SControversial) and then to church for the 10 Commandments series. God's word resonated in her heart as she heard it preached practically and personally. As an SC debater on scholarship, Ashley understands the value of a good case. After a few months of deep bible study, she's found a case she couldn't argue against and was baptized into Christ.
