Thy Kingdom Come
Two thousand years ago a kingdom was revealed that did not fit the normal human pattern of rule. This kingdom came to bring hope and freedom to the poor, the downtrodden, and the sinner. It was a kingdom not of human design but of divine planning. Jesus Christ walked the earth proclaiming this kingdom - a kingdom that brings transformation to people desperately in need of the Savior.
During the first week of January, 1,400 staff and students from seven states gathered to worship the King and to grow in their relationship with Him during the Denver Christmas Conference (DCC). Students heard from passionate speakers, took part in a variety of seminars, were exposed to the needs of the nations, and learned about summer mission opportunities around the world. Students partnered with local churches and community groups to embody the good news of the kingdom by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of Denver residents. On the final night of the conference, many students pledged to participate in the Great Commission this summer.
DCC 2009 challenged students and staff, alike, to reflect on the kingdom of God, to be transformed by it, and to faithfully serve the King as they seek to see the kingdom come to their campuses and the world.
I was raised in the Mormon Church. This past semester I was introduced to Campus Crusade and I began to realize that I no longer believed certain things my church taught. I came to DCC even though my parents didn't want me to attend. During the first session, I realized that I had never accepted Christ as my Savior. Three days later Bryan Loritts challenged those who still had not made that decision to do it right then. I was finally ready and after the session I gave my life to the Lord. I know that God is going to provide for me even though my family is going to be very disappointed with me.

We met Dahari at the end of the Day of Faith. He was very educated about different world religions but wanted more information about a personal relationship with Christ. We contacted the Pastor of the Denver Community Church to ask about a future meeting with Dahari, and to our surprise, the pastor responded right away to set up a time to meet with Dahari.
