Enrique Herrera l Building Laborers on the College Campus
Enrique came to Christ during his junior year of high school after he heard the gospel at a church retreat. He quickly understood that there was nothing he could do to earn his salvation because Jesus had already secured salvation for His people with His life, death, and resurrection on the cross. When he met a couple of guys on staff with Campus Outreach, he really grew to understand what it meant to live a life centered on Jesus and how sweet it was to walk in community with Him other believers. Paola grew up in a Christian home where she witnessed her parents’ faith in God, but she never understood her need for a Savior. She went off to college at the University of Houston, expecting to continue to find her worth in her performance in school, but through God’s mercy, she experienced the brokenness of her sin for the first time. She connected to Campus Outreach through her sister and began to see how Christ alone satisfies the lives of the community around her. She gave her life to Christ that next spring semester of her freshman year. Enrique first laid eyes on Paola at a New Year’s Conference after a very brief interaction playing a game of spike ball. They met again at Project Galveston in the summer of 2018. A friendship developed through early morning workouts, spontaneous swim days, and basically from Enrique being Paola’s driver all around the island. That summer was fundamental in both of their walks and really helped establish the vision for ministry they wanted to pursue in college and for the rest of their lives! The Lord has given Enrique and Paola a heart for the college campus and has revealed the desperate need for laborers to harvest the fields of students in these crucial, fundamental times of their lives. Their vision for ministry is to see multi-ethnic college men and women understand their need for a Savior and to surrender their lives to Him. Enrique and Paola will get married on August 8th and hope to be on campus, full-time, by the end of the month!
