Bible Lecture Series
Join Campus Hope each night, Monday, March 18 – Saturday, March 23, for a series of lectures in Fisher Hall.
The Evidence is a series of lectures designed to provide a rational basis for faith while not ignoring the existential issues surrounding each subject. It is often believed that people of faith tend to be uneducated or uninformed, therefore leaving them easily persuaded by shoddy evidence. However, this lecture series will argue that faith rests upon evidence, not demonstration, in addition to pointing to the evidence itself.
Speaker Sebastien Braxton is an inspiring international evangelist who has a passion for soul-winning on secular campuses. He is the assistant director of training for CAMPUS (Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students).
If you have any questions or need a ride, please contact: campushope@mtu.edu
