Life is more than a game.
And when we put our passion into a game, we miss the mark every time, said Mike Nuss, director of the office of collegiate and student ministries of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions.
That’s why this year’s Youth Evangelism Conference (YEC) is aimed to show students that life is about much more than that — it’s about a relationship with Jesus Christ that consumes everything, Nuss said.
The conference, set for Aug. 2–3 at Samford University in Birmingham, will encourage students, youth leaders, parents and churches to put their passion into what lasts and make sure students have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, he said.
More than two-thirds of Alabama’s students don’t have a relationship with Jesus, Nuss said. “We hope the conference will not just reach students but also encourage students to go back and be witnesses on their campus.”
