Going off to College

by Lois Breneman - 2008

If your children are not going to Christian colleges, encourage them, before they head off to secular colleges, to get connected to one of these good Christian organizations before leaving or immediately upon arrival.  
Campus Crusade
, InterVarsity, and Navigators   This could make all the difference in the world, in a day when Dr. Josh McDowell has found that 80% of young people, raised in Christian homes who had previously made a commitment to the Lord, are falling away from their faith.  Being connected to other believers, staying in the Word of God, and prayer are key factors.

Two excellent resources heard about on the Point of View radio broadcast on July 28 (www.pointofview.net):
How to Stay Christian in College is an Interactive Guide to Keeping the Faith by J. Budziszewski: NAV Press - www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=835103&netp_id=320284&event=ESRCN&item_code=WW
