A rising generation


I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith ...

(from Hosanna by Hillsong Utd)


Welcome to the Campus Voltage! blogpage.

Campus Voltage! is the continuance of Youth Voltage, where previously school-going students have passed another milestone and stepped into college/university life. As we all know (for those of us who can say 'been there, done that'), it comes complete with a set of fresh challenges, obstacles, joys and experiences.

So where do college students fit in? Our Lord Jesus says it best in Matthew 5.13-16 (taken from 'The Message'):

Salt and Light

13"Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavours of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.

14-16"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

Thus as a generation of young eagles, sharp arrows and bearers of light, let's be all we can be for the glory of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

Campus Voltage! seeks to meet the needs (spiritual and otherwise) of college students with the love and fellowship of our Lord Jesus Christ. We meet on Saturday from 4pm - 5.30pm @ Antioch Centre.

Before I end, on behalf of the core team, welcome once again and may you continue to grow in Christ as you grow up.
