Christian Group Tried to Reach Out to VT Killer

Verum Serum reports that the Virginia Tech Korean Campus Crusade for Christ attempted on many occasions to reach out to Cho Seung-Hui, but to no avail. The University of Evansville Cresent Online quotes the KCC president:

Young-Hwan Kim, VT Korean Campus Crusade for Christ president, said his group had tried repeatedly to get Seung-Hui involved in its activities, but was rebuffed.

“No one knew him,” Kim said. “We had no contact throughout four years. It’s amazing. We could not reach out to him.”

It's too bad the group was not successful, but at least we take heart in knowing that there were some Christians who tried to minister to him.

My daughter, who is finishing her Freshman year in college, is an active member of Campus Crusade. Such collegiate Christian fellowships are truly an oasis in what can be a desert wasteland of secular values.

Amen, Allan. These are vital on these campuses where everything under the sun is thrown at students.

I cannot tell you in words what Alyssa's involvement in Campus Crusade has meant to us.
