WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
Trevor Ellison, Associate Campus Minister
His House Christian Fellowship exists “to bring the gospel to college campuses and send students back out as world changers for Christ.” There are two campus houses at Western Michigan University that house around a dozen students each.
At a time and place where many students are leaving their parents faith, His House effectively helps students to embrace the Christian faith and leave college as faithful followers of Jesus.
They use weekly gatherings, small group Bible studies, missions trips, and retreats to reach and envision students. Students graduate and go to place all over the world to be a witness for Jesus and advance their kingdom of God.
