SALT Reports

2012 is here, and we're ready for another great semester! God has done some great things over the break to prepare us and our students for a year for the history books! Over New Year, each year, we take students to the regional Chi Alpha SALT conference. This year, we were in Dallas, TX, and lives were changed, including mine. I was deeply challenged and refreshed in my devotion to Jesus first, and then reignited with desire to proclaim the good news about Jesus to students from all over the world on campus!

Here are some testimonies straight from students:



God really showed me that I can put my full trust in him for my future. I was also really encouraged about people that I have been praying for to come to know Christ. Salt was truly amazing. -Sean, Tulane Senior


We all see the problems in the world and hope we can contribute or do something about it. Politics, hunger, AIDS, terrorism, poverty, neglect, division, prostitution, these are all 'buzzwords' they dangle at you in the media but really have no power to act. At SALT, there were all these people who share the same heart with the same goal, to spread the Good News, coming from a privileged country where people have human rights and technology, that if we got serious we could feed the world 3 times over. We have the Gospel to take to the ends of the earth, and the Spirit who will be with us to do it.

At SALT I met people who are already doing these. I was encouraged. -Kevin, Tulane Senior

As my relationship with God has matured since entering college, I have found myself recognizing my need for patience when it comes to waiting on the Lord.  After receiving baptism in the Holy Spirit last year at SALT, I have been seeking to hear God's voice and to discover His long-term plan for my life.  I realized after SALT this year that I have been impatiently seeking answers to my questions rather than focusing on strengthening my relationship with God while waiting on His perfect timing.  Several of the sessions I attended focused on waiting on the Lord while sanctifying oneself in the process.  I felt the Lord guiding me to examine some areas of my life in which I can grow deeper in relationship with Him, and I have already begun to put these things into practice as I wait for His guidance for my life after college.  I look forward to 2012, because I know that this will be a year of renewal for my intimate relationship with my Father.  -Bethany, Tulane Junior


Please keep us in your prayers as we start the new semester. We are looking for some bold and creative ways to engage a much wider audience with the Gospel at Tulane than ever before. And, let us know how we can be praying for you.
