CCO Campus Ministry

Christine Olmeda

“The CCO challenged me in engineering. It opened my eyes to different opportunities of what being a Christian engineer could look like,” says Penn State graduate Christine Olmeda. Christine has responded to that challenge by accepting a two-year call to join a team working with World Harvest Mission, serving a local church in the Sudan.

“Jubilee really helped me to realize that whatever I decided to do with my life should be used to glorify God. It also helped me to realize that God can use Christians and their talents anywhere He places them and in any job they perform. I felt that God was telling me to do something important with my life.”

“I moved from the hedonistic, pleasure-seeking, wild and crazy college lifestyle to realizing that because of Jesus, I was a worthwhile person and I had value. I have always had such gratitude for those adults who came to campus and talked to us about Jesus.”

Between fellowship opportunities on campus and the annual Jubilee conference, Valerie left Allegheny feeling prepared to live as a Christian in the so-called real world.

“I was raised in a strong Christian family and my father was a pastor, but the CCO helped me see that you could serve God in every area of life. Seeing how important it was to inculcate a biblical worldview in my own children helped motivate me to homeschool my own seven children, and I feel strongly that God has called and equipped me to serve Him in this capacity and that He is glorified by my work.”

“I’ve told a number of people that the foundations of how I do ministry as a pastor were built during my time with the CCO. The CCO gave me a theological foundation and taught me how to read the scriptures. I learned straight off that ministry is about people. You can go through seminary and not learn any of those things.”

“The CCO influenced my career choice, as well where I have chosen to live, who I have chosen to marry, and how I choose to spend my free time. The CCO inspired me to be conscientious about the everyday choices I make, considering the impact on others, not just the convenience for myself.”

“The CCO’s ministry helped me to learn to connect my faith with all parts of my life. My involvement with members of CCO’s ministry helped me to go from being a binge-drinking, sexually-immoral, miserable person to being someone who will never again turn his back on God. Michael Baird led me away from that lifestyle and back to God. My life has been forever changed because of that.”

“Without the CCO ministry, I am almost certain that I would not be here today. CCO staff helped me work through depression, an eating disorder, a complete dependency on relationships, and a poor sense of self worth. I was renewed by the love and patience of so many of those involved with CCO… I learned what it meant to have God at the center of everything.”

“Our CCO staff people were great examples of Christians living their faith out in every area of their lives. I wanted to emulate them, because I knew what a difference they made in my life, and I want to make a difference in the life of every person that God brings into my life.”
