I just said "okay"

Eric LaPlante is a Cru student leader getting ready to graduate at the end of this semester in math education. He has lived in a residence hall throughout his time at WSU. We asked him to tell us more about why...

"The decision for me to stay in  the dorms was never a divine message sent from Heaven that I heard through the crack of lightning and the roar of thunder.  I simply saw a need for students to hear the Gospel in the freshman dorms and saw I could help fill that need.  God calls us to "make disciples of all the nations” and to simply follow Him. I just answered His call by saying “Okay!”

I think this calling to the dorms was exactly what I needed. For so long in my Christian life I wanted to be called in a grand way where I would never question my path. I've realized, however, that there isn't much faith required in that scenario. It forces you to have faith to follow the path God sets before you when the path is actually a direction without defined boundaries."

Eric is one of many WSU Cru students that have chosen to live in Stephenson complex, and other WSU campus living groups, with a purpose. We look forward to posting stories of lives being impacted by Eric and others as the year goes on and the gospel goes out.
