Campus Ambassadors @ UAlbany

Dennis Zeng

I am proud to represent CA as Treasurer, but even more happy to be representing God on the campus!  I am a sophomore studying business administration and I have too many interests to list here. In short, volleyball and running in marathons.

I got involved with CA because I see a potential in this student group to reach out to the campus with God’s love.  I have already learned a lot about myself and have grown a decent foundation and understanding of the Bible.  I would love to see UA rated #1 most spiritual growth in college!

In addition to being a leader with CA, I am a junior studying Psychology and when I’m not playing Rugby, I enjoy music and art.  I became involved in CA because I was looking for Christian people to be friends with and wanted to learn to make my relationship with God stronger.

I wish for CA at UAlbany that so many people would join that we need several lecture halls for each meeting :)

I am a sophomore studying Psych and Sociology, when I am not leading in various ways in CA.  I spend most of my time reading and blogging. I also love traveling, photography, baking, and music.

I became involved in CA because I was looking for a supportive Christian Fellowship that would help me grow in my faith with God.  I hope that when we show our love for the people on this campus that it will reflect the love of Jesus.  I would love it if every persons’ heart on this campus was transformed into a heart for God!

I serve as a leader with Campus Ambassadors [CA]. I’m a Junior studying Political Science, French and Women’s Studies.  When I’m not doing either of these things I love music, art, books, sports, people, travel, food and animals.

I got involved with CA because I wanted to be part of a Christian fellowship that was welcoming and honestly sought to follow Christ’s teachings. Also CA is very into community service and seeking social justice which is a big part of who I am and what I want to do.

Aside from my duties as President and Worship Leader with CA, I’m a Senior studying Public Policy and Russian.  I love traveling, reading, crew, hiking, music, and photography.  I became involved in CA because I wanted to grow in my relationship with Christ alongside other Christians.

I’d love to see the members of CA building each other up in Christ and then turning to the rest of the campus to show them how awesome our God is!  I hope to see our love for Jesus reach and transform UAlbany and the Capitol District!

In  addition to being Secretary for CA, I am a senior studying Psychology.

I love writing, reading, cooking, running and lists!   Involvement in CA has helped me to learn more about God and my faith and presented challenges in my journey as a Christian.

I would love to see CA grow as a community of believers in Christ with an earnest desire to serve others, and I want every student on this campus to know and understand how much God loves each of us as individuals.

I was the former President of Campus Ambassadors. I am a junior at UA studying business and accounting.  My favorite activities are jet skiing and four-wheeling.  I also love to travel to different places around the world.

As a freshman I wanted to make sure I stayed grounded in my faith so I joined Campus Ambassadors. I have made so many good friends and had the opportunity to share my faith with SUNY Albany!  I hope to see the group grow in size and continue to be a light to the campus.

Francesca’s Infusion Experience ‘09

I was not even sure I was going to ‘Infusion’ this last May. Stephen and Kim had mentioned it to me.     I wanted to go but I did not want to deal with the pressure of feeling the need to walk around with a       fake smile plastered on my face, pretending to be happy. Because the truth is, I was not happy. I was     struggling with all sorts of questions and doubts. There was an intense anger burning in the pit of my   stomach because I didn’t know what to do with knowledge about the Bible and God. I thought, “I           know about God and about the Word and all that, but what the heck am I supposed to do with it?”

There is so much I wanted to do with my life, and still do. I want to make a practical difference in           people’s lives. I want to be a friend not a judge, and to give. I thought the Bible required me to be a judge, but I wondered, “How could I judge anyone when I was such a sinner myself?” My struggle was taking me all over the place intellectually and emotionally. I didn’t know how to be me and be a child of God at the same time.

I felt like an impostor to everyone. To my non-Christian friends I was Continue Reading…

Jessica’s Story

During my summer before college I went to my first “party”. I had come to know Christ as my Savior when I was eight years old, but I had entered a temporary period of straying from my faith. When I got to college my friends and I would go dancing or to parties on the weekends. It was a lot of fun, but not necessarily what I wanted to be doing all the time. It was hard to stop, because my friends would always want me to go out with them.

I tried to fill my time with other things so I would have a good, legitimate reason why I could not go out. I started going to other school events; and I joined CA and Impact. I made many new friends with people who had other interests besides drinking. I began to hang out with them more often, so that I would not be tempted to go out. Just like my step-dad said, “If you want to succeed in life, surround yourself with successful people”. Proverbs 13:20 instructs us that “he who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm”.

I wanted to have a stronger relationship with God, and to be better example for others and better representative for Christ. With that in mind, I have been surrounding myself with spiritually strong people with similar values to mine. It was not easy at first, Continue Reading…
