Evangelism
“I’m not gonna get canceled if I say something stupid in this interview, right?”
Evan Keck, ’22, has a quick wit and a big heart. Going into college, Evan knew he wanted to apply for the Christian Leadership Scholarship because he saw college as a mission field where he could “influence others for the cause of Christ.” He was “very prideful” as a freshman, but he learned, “If you don’t understand your sinfulness, you can never fully understand the Gospel.” Now, Evan pours into freshmen, helping them see their sinfulness, understand the Gospel, repent, and begin a new life.
“When we start college as freshmen, we’re all looking to either build on the identity we had back home or create a new identity for ourselves,” Evan said. “But, really, our identity can’t be ourselves. It has to be Christ. I want our freshman to start finding their identities in Him.”
Post-graduation, he has similar plans. “I want some people to get saved. That’s all,” he joked. But besides that, he plans on applying for medical school, becoming a worship pastor, and sharing the Gospel. With the practice he’s had at Cumberlands, it won’t be too much of a stretch.
