"I was the typical 19-year-old at Washington State University thinking about my next class, my latest crush and getting into the coolest sorority. I had no concept that I had a Father in heaven who was plotting a rescue for my life. I was so far from Christianity that I thought when someone mentioned “Jesus Christ” that his last name was “Christ”! I felt empty and unsettled.
Providentially, God put me in a room in my sorority house right across from a girl named Jenny. Jenny was totally different. She always hung out and had a great time but she never got wasted or hooked up. I kept seeing her love and help others with a quiet joy. What did she have that I didn’t? One day she told me about the God who created her and the relationship she had with Jesus Christ that changed her heart. By God’s grace, I knew that same God had created me, and I desperately wanted to know Him and get this new heart. So I knelt of the floor of my sorority and surrendered my life to Christ.
Later I found out that Jenny was a student involved with Campus Crusade for Christ. She felt specifically led to share Jesus with the women in my sorority. Her obedience resulted in my salvation. When I graduated last year, I knew that God was calling me to go back to WSU to share the gospel with girls like me by going on staff full time with Cru. Jenny was my inspiration but my deepest prayer is that God would allow me to follow in the only footsteps that really matter-the footsteps of Jesus Christ."
We're excited to have Rachelle back at WSU. Undoubtedly she will be used in the lives of students in similar ways to how the Lord used Jenny in her life.
