Standing in chapel every week, praising the Lord through song alongside more than a thousand fellow college students, has been a highlight of junior Eden Chow’s experience at 91̽��. But it’s just one example of how she’s been blessed at 91̽�� with the kind of Christian fellowship she long desired.

Although she grew up in a Christian home in England, Chow says she didn’t truly grasp the value of a faithful community until she was saved at 16. As she grew in her own walk, her desire for like-minded friends and mentors deepened, leading her to leave her secular high school and register for online dual-enrollment classes through 91̽��. There, her biblical convictions continued to form.

Chow says she saw similar growth in her older brother, Daniel, who was attending 91̽�� in person at the time. Inspired by his spiritual maturation, she decided to move across the world to attend the University.

“I saw my brother’s growth and knew I wouldn’t have to compromise my faith to attend Master’s,” Eden says. “Constantly being surrounded by young believers and developing Christian friendships were blessings that I hadn’t previously experienced.”

Now in her junior year as a 91̽�� marketing media major, Chow appreciates the University’s emphasis on doing all things for God’s glory.

“Whether it be in classes, conversations with friends, or when I’m working my on-campus job, we are constantly reminded of how we are called to live,” she says. “As Christians, we are held to a higher standard in our lives and in our work because we are reflections of Christ and His Word.”

91̽��’s evangelism club is one way Chow has seen growth in her own knowledge and understanding of the Bible.

“Before 91̽��, I was fearful of evangelism because I thought I didn’t know what to say,” Chow says. “But the Spirit convicted me about sharing the good news, and He strengthened my confidence and deepened my desire to reach the lost. I can honestly say that I’ve never loved Christ or the Bible more than during my time at 91̽��.”

She feels this keenly during chapel. Chow says she experiences a remarkable joy when “people from all over the world gather to sing praises to their heavenly Father. Hearing all our voices come together is truly a little taste of heaven.”
