From Ellen: Here's the story from Alisons's perspective..
"Rachel and I went to the same high school, but we were never really friends. When she found out that I was going to Saint Rose she connected with me and we became great friends. Since Freshman year of college, I prayed that she would accept Christ and after doing a study on Godspace and learning how to have natural spiritual coversations with people, She began to open up to me. About a year ago, She expressed to me that she was looking to explore the "spiritual" side of herself and I began asking her questions about what she believed and listened to her. After a short while after that I asked her to come to church with me. She at first was too busy, but eventually she was asking me if she could come to church. After the first time she came to church with me she was really blown away by the community of believers. She felt accepted and loved and she was able to actually see John 13:5 being lived out "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." The next week she accepted Christ!"
What Alison didn't share was that last year, Rachel was THE first student we did Soularium with on Campus! I shared my story with her sitting on St. Rose's campus a year ago (give or take a month!)
