Aome Jacob Angeles – Loveland, Colorado … Xander Assa, pastor and 2016 Campion alumnus, spoke for Week of Worship at Campion Academy in Loveland, Colorado, April 29-May 1. His theme was about how he met Jesus at Campion, and, throughout the week, he shared his different experiences and stories from his time as a high school student and how they related to spiritual growth.
He often brought up references that students would understand, and kept students engaged with humor and questions. Shane H., junior student, reflected the opinions of many students when he said, “The speaker for Week of Worship spoke like someone who we can relate to.”
While his stories were often amusing, they always had an impactful lesson at the end. His stories ranged from dormitory food theft to the death of close loved ones. His stories reached the hearts of many, and throughout the week many students chose to give their lives to Jesus when he made an appeal each day.
In the final altar call during Vespers on Friday night, four students made the decision to get baptized.
Isreal O., junior student, shared, “Low-key he was so involved with the students, and we could relate to him a lot. He also played basketball with us and encouraged us both on and off the court. He was really inspiring.”
