Mission's conference's theme was to set the hearts of the students Ablaze. Students have been working on Mission's Conference for months now and were excited to see it come into fruition. For those who left early or decided to not attend, really missed out on an event that changed many hearts of students that could not help their souls be ignited for God from the various messages that the speakers touched on.
There were many topics that different speakers spoke on, but the main focus was Jesus' love and His power to heal and change lives. "I felt freedom and released from bondage," said Kendra Schmidt, a freshman at Biola University. One of the speakers listened to the Holy Spirit and sensed that the students were broken and needed confess their sin and not hide what they were dealing with. Adrienne Grey, a freshman, mentioned that after this revival, students need to be held accountable to what they learned because it was a serious time of growth. "My professors ask what we got out of missions conference which helps us remember what we learned," Kendra commented.
How can Biola continue to stay in the same mindset of accountability and focusing on God? Adrienne said, "We need to trust and have openness with one another at all times." Nathan Fan absorbed what the speakers said about the importance of love and obedience, "You can't love God with out being obedient, so I'm encouraged to live out the commandments."
"Missions is a step in the right direction," Nathan said. The hearts of the students were set ablaze and will continue to be on fire for God if students are holding each other accountable and following up with one another. The theme was not just for the three day Mission's Conference, but was a theme to reach the students and transform their lives for the rest of their lives. Learning about the different mission's needs across the world was just an aspect of the conference, but the students did not realize their hearts were going to be transformed and set ablaze.
