Carry the Love Vis­its Bethel

MISHAWAKA- Carry the Love, an evan­ge­list mis­sion group fo­cused on col­lege cam­puses across the United States and Eu­rope, vis­ited Bethel’s cam­pus dur­ing GO Week. They brought mu­sic and a mes­sage of evan­ge­lism to the stu­dents. Tues­day night, Jan. 25, the group held a wor­ship night at Shiloh. Then, on Wednes­day night, Jan. 26, they did a take-over of Ves­pers, a stu­dent-led chapel night. At Ves­pers, they played a wor­ship set and McGer­ran Clouser gave a mes­sage to the crowd.

Anne Gar­rett, an in­tern for spir­i­tual life at Bethel, said that the Spir­i­tual Life team asked Carry the Love to visit in or­der to set a fire in the stu­dents at Bethel and en­cour­age them to share the Gospel with their peers. She says that her goal for Bethel through this ex­pe­ri­ence is to reach the non-be­liev­ers on cam­pus. 

“[I want to] show them what it looks like to live out faith in God and share the Gospel with them,” Gar­rett said. 

Clouser said that they de­cided to come to Bethel be­cause he be­lieves that Bethel can con­nect the sur­round­ing re­gions and the re­vival hap­pen­ing there.

“There is a re­vival hap­pen­ing in West Michi­gan and Cen­tral In­di­ana and North­ern In­di­ana needs to ex­pe­ri­ence it too,” Clouser said. 

He hopes that their mes­sage will em­power Bethel stu­dents to carry a torch for Je­sus in all sit­u­a­tions. 

Parker Reid, an­other mem­ber of the Carry the Love team, says that Bethel stu­dents can get in­volved in the Carry the Love mis­sion and team in many ways. To get con­nected with the pro­gram, visit car­ry­th­elove.com.
