Epilogue



What will Purdue look like 10 years from now? Whose lives will we have been changed because they intersected ours?

The epilogue of Megashift invites us to imagine a large gathering of people. Each person there was, in some way, brought closer to Jesus because of what you did. He shares some really cool stories about dozens of people who were freed from drugs, forgiven of sins, healed of diseases, and more.

What if we had a Chi Alpha reunion at Purdue ten years from now? What stories of people would you want to hear at that gathering? Are there specific people you'd especially like to see there, people who aren't yet a part of the group?

I'd like to see a professor (let's call him Dr. Higgins) at Purdue show up and tell about how he was healed from cancer because a Chi Alpha student was willing to stay after class and ask to pray for him.

I'd like to see a student from Bhutan who met a Chi Alpha student, someone who didn't even know Bhutan was a country. That student loved her, spent time with her, and shared Jesus with her. After returning home in the power of the Spirit, that Bhutanese student has led hundreds of her neighbors to Christ.

I'd like to see representatives from a dozen different Chi Alpha groups from across the country, coming from campuses that have a Chi Alpha because someone from Purdue was willing to go where no one else had gone and start a new ministry there.

What kind of people would you like to see?
