“…what’s your story?” UC 2009

    BCM at University of the Cumberlands has been encouraging students to share their stories through posts here and on the webpage for UC, as well as with cardboard testimonies in worship and on campus.  Students have been writing brief words about God’s work in their lives on cardboard and holding them up on the campus.  The idea is to engage the campus with each other’s stories.  The campus newspaper, The Patriot, will also be featuring a section called, “What’s Your Story?”  Below are some of the stories and accompanying stories that have been shared.  The goal is to post weekly new stories and pictures.  For those who are Christians, the belief is that God will be glorified and honored that students are rising up to brag on their God!  Jesus told us that if He would be lifted up, He would draw all people to Him, and that is our hope, prayer and belief!

   Tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM in the Gatliff Chapel at UC, Ray Sydnor will be preaching and sharing his story with freshmen for BCM Spring Renewal Services.  His before and after story is that he was a 1980 Eagles’ Super Bowl Teammate, a 19-year crack cocaine addict who, by God’s grace, began recovery in 1996 and is now being used by God to preach the gospel both as Youth Minister at Brooklyn Tabernacle, NY, NY, and throughout the country!
