Hello, my name is Jason. I am a senior at LSU and I am also in the club called, “Believers at LSU.” I met the believers when I was ending my first semester at LSU. This was a very big blessing. I was beginning to seek what the meaning of life was. I realized that it was not about materialism or being popular.
I grew up in a Christian home. But, I began to fall away from my parents leading and began searching for a way to please myself. When I entered college, I realized how much different it was from high school. There were no parents, homes, or close friends that I could go and see. From that point on I decided to make the best of it and tried to become popular.
My roommate told me that there are too many people at LSU to become popular. I found this to be true and also as a challenge. My classes became secondary as I sought to become liked by others. Soon, this all became a heavy burden. I had to find a solution, but what was I supposed to do?

I was born in 1983 in the country of Iran. The surrounding was all Islamic, but my parents were, and still are, not religious at all. I grew up learning about Moses, Muhammad, and even Christ. But I was taught that Christ was not God’s Son. I arrived in the United States in May of 1996. At that time, I had not seen my father and my brothers for six years, all because of legal matters. Although I feared “the States” because of some movies that I had seen, it was a sweet arrival and reunion . . . for awhile. I remember after a month or so, all the excitement was gone and things were back to normal. I guess you could say the wine “ran out.”
My life in Christ began when I was in the middle of my senior year of high school. I don’t think that I will ever forget the sweet moment when the Lord Jesus came and rescued me from this “black hole” called “the world.” At that time, I was nurtured in a Baptist church. I found a solid foundation there. I grew with the Lord. But then it came time to leave my home and go to college. When I arrived at LSU, I, or should I say the Christ in me, was thirsty for fellowship. I was searching for a “fountain” where I could rest and be at home again. I felt inside me that the Lord Jesus wanted me to do something for His plan. And he arranged it. He never ceases to amaze me. |

Hello again!
As Believers at LSU, we welcome you! During our college years we have found great joy and purpose in pursuing the Lord Jesus Christ with our Christian students. This pursuit has been truly valuable, and we invite you to join us. Indeed, God's word charges us to "...pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart" (2 Timothy 2:22). To facilitate pursuing the Lord Jesus Christ with others, we offer a variety of activities throughout the year, all of which focus on enjoying Christ in God's Word. These activities include small group bible studies, dinner and fellowship in homes of Christians in the community throughout the week, weekly campus meetings and bible studies. Please feel free to browse through our links to find out a little bit about who we are, what we believe, what we do, our personal testimonies, and our contact information. We also have provided some useful links to help you in your pursuit of our dear Lord Jesus. We look forward to hearing from you and meeting you soon. |
