“There is a great identity crisis among students today. Who am I? What is the purpose of life? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

They must believe in something to find fulfillment in their lives.”

It threatened the life of the whole world. It became the greatest challenge Christianity had faced in 2,000 years. It was a fanatic religion that asked questions and demanded answers.”
