Campus Ministry @ Princeton!

An Adventist approach to secular education.
Meet Denver Jn Baptiste (center) and Josephine Elia (right), graduate students at Princeton University, who are helping to lead the Seventh-day Adventist Princeton Fellowship at the Ivy League school. Baptiste, a second-year molecular biology major from St. Lucia, and Elia, a fourth-year chemical engineering major from Indonesia, are doing all they can to connect Adventist students on campus and introduce others at their Princeton, N.J., school to Christ. This fall, with the support of Princeton (N.J.) church pastor Art Randall (left) and his members, they plan to host a Friday night Bible study group and distribute copies of The Great Controversy. The students also teach Sabbath School at the Princeton church, and Elia, who is on her way to Honduras for a mission trip, also plays the piano. In this video clip, she explains why she believes Adventists need to have a presence at Princeton and share Christ in the academic environment.
