S2E2 – Kickstart (Sarah Hunter)

Faith On Campus Kickstart Christian Union, interview with Sarah Hunter

This week’s episode of Faith On Campus was recorded at Kickstart, an orientation camp run by the combined Christian Unions from all WA universities to help incoming first-year students have a great start to their life at uni.

In this episode I interview Sarah Hunter, a second year student at Curtin University. Sarah shares with us how a year ago, when she first came on Kickstart as an incoming first year student, she wasn’t interested in Christianity. She came to the camp to meet people and make friends before uni started, but came away from it deciding that she didn’t want to be a Christian.

When she got onto campus, she actively avoided the Christian Union.

One year later, however, a lot has changed! Sarah is back at Kickstart volunteering as an upper year student, giving up her time to invest in first years and help them know more about Jesus. She shared the story of her experience as a first year student and how she became a Christian in front of more than a hundred other students, and I was so encouraged that I wanted to share her story with you too. Have a listen!
