Light Club
Over two hundred Liberty students have found a special beacon oflight on campus, onethat provides encouragement, opportunities in foreign lands,and bonding friendships.
The Light Club iscommitted to bridging the gap between student members and theworld ofmissions.
"We hope to promote global missions anyway we can and provide opportunities through Light campaigns," said Jimmy Jackson, LightClub president.
TheLightClub,whichisabranch of the Light ministries, provides many opportunities forstudentsto get involved with missions both inside and outside campus. Involvement in the Light singers increases missions awareness by overseas trips.
"Hundreds of students' lives have been changed," said Jackson, who traveled to Romania several years ago on a missions exposure trip.
Along with trying to reach the unsaved and discouraged inforeign countries, LightClub reachesoutto the student body. The Light Encouragers,which has been very fruitful, is a group ofstudents who reach out to their peers who arein need. They show compassion through spending time with a student and praying for the student's needs,such as a death in the family. Another group within Light, called Friendship International, allows students to write missionaries on a semimonthlybasis. Thereisalsoaprayer group thatmeets one day aweek to pray for missionaries.
The Light Club has set several futuregoalsinordertomake people aware of the need for missions. Recruitingforforeignexposuretrips is theirtop priority. Jackson would also like to see more community involvement.
"We want tobecome moreactive in the Lynchburg community in order toshow thelove ofJesusina tangible way," said Jackson. Light would also like to reach out to the Christiansonlocalcollegecampuses and fellowship with them.
The Light Club isled by Jimmy Jackson, president, Scott Hofert, vice-president, Danna Haag, secretary, and Rachel Woolridge, treasurer.
