CCO Campus Ministry

Simon Huff

“What the CCO really did for my life was to change my perspective to what I like to think of as the ‘Seven Day Jesus.’ I realized that faith cannot be disconnected from my daily life; it must be directing my every decision, otherwise, do I really trust in GOD and his plan for my life?”

“I went to the Beach Project and had the most amazing time of my life. I grew in my walk and my faith so much that summer. I doubt I would have followed my calling into youth ministry, or ministry at all for that matter, if I hadn’t crossed paths with the CCO.”

“The CCO helped me continue on with my faith walk and allowed me to integrate my faith into the real world and not do what most people do, keeping them in separate compartments. I have to thank Mike for consistently encouraging me—forcefully at times!—to continue in my faith and see the potential I have in life and in God’s Kingdom.”

“My time as a student involved with the CCO influences what I do today because it has truly made me cherish my calling from God as a registered nurse. The CCO has inspired me to live my Christian faith in every area of life.”

“I don’t know if there’s ever a time of faith equivalent to the college years,” says Brett Latta. “Life presents plenty of forks in the road, and when you’re in college, there are more forks than at any other time. I think that’s why the CCO is so key. I had good parents and a [...]

“Even though I had grown up in the church, I didn’t understood how the Gospel could transform me and the rest of life. My relationships with CCO staff members allowed me to come to a transforming understanding of the story of redemption in the Bible. As I’ve engaged with life, I’ve come to understand that Jesus truly sustains all things.”

“College was a defining period of my life, when my faith and my commitment to Christ became very concrete. Spending time with Rodney and being a part of [the CCO ministry] STAND helped me move Christianity from being something I believed to something I really knew.”

“Jubilee was a huge turning point in my search for answers about my faith. For the first time, I was able to sincerely sing worship songs, and I loved the breakout sessions. I soaked up the different speakers’ every word! About two weeks later, I accepted Christ during a quiet time, reading the book of John.”

“The common thread through all of my interactions with CCO staff as a student was their affirmation of how God had gifted me and their challenge to use those gifts to God’s glory. Part of my job today is to help students connect with how God has gifted them, to further develop those talents and to help them to use their gifts to fulfill His purposes. That’s why I work in student life.”

“The CCO’s ministry definitely changed my goals in terms of what I wanted to do with my life. Before, my heart was set on becoming a hermit who designed webpages in a remote area of Colorado; now, I desire to see peoples’ lives changed through spending time with them and putting them in situations where they have to face themselves and their relationship—or lack thereof—with God.”
