ACU’s SOULforce
Some words on Soulforce, from our very own ACU president Royce Money:
"From the arrival of the group late on Sunday afternoon until their departure from campus last night, they were amazed that we treated them with courtesy and respect. One example that kept coming up in the conversations was the fact that we asked them their names and asked them to put their names on a name tag. Several people remarked to me that no one on the previous six stops ever bothered to ask their name, much less asked them to wear a name tag. It seems that they did not know what to do when people treated them kindly."
"Several arrived sick with upper respiratory problems. Wayne Barnard arranged for them to see our physician, Dr. Tony Rector on Monday morning. They were amazed and kept talking about it all day."
"The tone was set for the whole visit on Sunday evening, when some of our faculty, staff and students had dinner with them. Several commented that no one on the trip so far had ever eaten with them."
One of the atheist women commented to one of our people, "I may have to re-think my opposition to Christianity, because I have never met Christians like you. Every Christian I have met before hated me."
"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you LOVE one another." –Jesus
May I suggest that we must not only love one another, but we must also learn to love those who are diametrically opposed to us?
