And she loves passing it on to students. As a staff worker for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ccuhn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CCUH, the IFES national movement in Honduras<\/a>, she\u2019s helping them see how Scripture illuminates their contemporary challenges and university context.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, at \u2018The University: My Mission Field\u2019 \u2013 a national training event for around 30 student leaders \u2013 Rocio and fellow staff worker Suany led a workshop on creative evangelism. Their purpose was clear:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe wanted to remind students of the power of God\u2019s Word in evangelism and how it guides us when we face<\/em><em> <\/em><em>all the issues being discussed in university hallways.<\/em><em>\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-heading wp-elements-7f0bee5523bd0d295155ac27640b8780\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-latin-america-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7f0bee5523bd0d295155ac27640b8780\"><strong>A Relevant Word for<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>Campus<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the session, they\u2019d surveyed students and discovered that common conversation topics on campus were sexuality, self-esteem, politics, creation care, and mental health. At the workshop, they worked through the <a href=\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/blog\/is-the-bible-relevant-for-todays-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">six steps in the IFES resource <em>Exploring the Word and the World<\/em><\/a>. Rocio explains, \u201cWe reflected on how contemporary issues can become a gateway for people to encounter the Lord in the Scriptures.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students then picked one of the themes and prepared a creative way to share what they\u2019d learned with non-Christians. But this was no academic exercise. As part of the training, one day was set aside for outreach on a local campus so that students could practise what they\u2019d learned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natalia, a law student in Tegucigalpa, said:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201c<\/em><em>My perspective changed. I learned to identify the issues in my university community and to reach out according to that reality.

Reflecting on what she\u2019d learned, another law student Brizeli commented, \u201cUniversity is an opportunity to reflect God&#8217;s values in all my actions, decisions, and conversations \u2013 to be his witness, showing his love and sharing the hope of the gospel.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlos, a computing student in Yoro, put it this way:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cIt&#8217;s not just about offering the gospel.
