‘I’m in’ – stem cell transplant student comes to faith

‘What’s stopping you taking the step to become a Christian?’ For Chris, a student at Nottingham Trent University, this Spring was the point at which he was able to answer ‘nothing’ – and give his life to Jesus Christ, writes Kitty Hardyman of Christian student organisation UCCF.

Chris made his commitment of faith attending the Word Alive conference alongside faithful friends from Nottingham Trent Christian Union who had walked with him during the past four years at university. The journey had been long, but surrounded by 800 other undergraduates and the wider church family, it was at Word Alive that the decision was set plainly before him, and he was able to say: ‘I’m in’.

Giving testimony at his baptism this Spring, Chris said: ‘I already felt so encouraged and equipped from Word Alive. Everything I had learnt over the years came together in God’s wonderful way. … I truly believe God was guiding me to keep investigating and seeking Him over the years.’
