Evangelism Campaigns at Some of Our Nation's Most Secular Schools
By erin conner, writer and communications associate
On March 3, Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle from the Give Me An Answer Ministry visited Stanford, boldly proclaiming Christ and engaging students in deep conversations about difficult questions of faith. The crowd grew to nearly 250 students toward the end, with still more stopping by throughout the four-hour event in White Plaza.
"In the days since, I’ve heard several testimonies of how students have had many conversations with their non-believing friends about Christ, the gospel, and faith. Cliffe and Stuart’s example emboldened students in their faith, and we see clear evidence that God is at work in hearts on our campus," shared Justin Woyak, the ministry director at Christian Union Caritas, one of the ministries that helped to host this outreach event. Christian Union Caritas was honored to partner with other Christian ministries at Stanford to help proclaim the gospel in such a bold way.

Mike Vincent, the ministry director of Christian Union Nova at Princeton, shared some evangelism events that CU Nova is planning for the spring of 2025. "We have several exciting outreach opportunities coming up this semester. First, our CU Proclaim Retreat next week is being held right here at Princeton. Students from several of our other ministries will be coming to Princeton during their spring break for evangelism training in the mornings, evangelism on campus in the afternoons, and guest speakers and motivation in the evenings. This week-long event will be capped off on Friday night by the Summit Worship Team and Pastor Carter Conlon from Times Square Church in NYC. They will lead a worship night on the South Lawn of Campus Center where students will be encouraged to bring as many friends as possible."
Vincent continued, "Christian Union Nova will also be helping to host Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle for some outdoor evangelism. As this ministry has amassed a huge following on YouTube in recent years, this event is generating lots of excitement! They will be posted up outside on campus for three days, giving talks and answering questions about the Bible and Christianity."
Christian Union Vita is hosting the Knechtle's ministry at Cornell University from March 19-20 with the support of other Christian organizations on campus. Christian Union Lumine will also be helping to host this ministry at Columbia University at the end of the month in an aim to make Jesus the most talked-about name on campus.
