Specifically, Colson tells the story of Union student Heather Martin and Union graduate Julie Boyer, who survived the storm without serious injuries after being trapped in a bathtub for nearly an hour.
“Heather and Julie were not the only ones to be miraculously spared,” Colson said. “All 1,200 Union students on campus survived the storm. As Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians, and the EMT nurse quoted to Julie that night, ‘We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.’”
Colson also appealed for his listeners to support Union’s disaster relief efforts.
“Union—a Southern Baptist university—is a premier evangelical institution,” Colson said. “What better proof is there that this school is training students to integrate their faith into all of life than the way these students responded to the storm? Now the only question remains is whether you and I will put our faith into action as well.”
