    ‘Got Love’ campaign captivates students

    Fresno City College’s Intervarsity club set up two booths on opposite sides of campus, with banners to promote the cause of love on Monday.

    The club was responsible for the many red “Got Love” pickets all around school.

    The question “Got Love,” leads to a more probing question: “Got God?” Intervarsity Club officer Guillermo De La Isla Jr. said, “God is love, he is constant love that never changes.”

    A poster at the booth asked, “What would you give up for love?” The volunteers gave out dot stickers which participants put over the eight things that theywould give up. The eight things were money, partying, friend’s, family, sex, dreams, weed, and free time.

    After student were done picked out which they would rather give up.

    The volunteers informed them that out of all of the things on the board, God would give up all of them for them. “A lot of people were surprised that we would even put weed or sex on the board, but that’s life! People like hearing the real thing rather than something sugarcoated,” De La Isla said.

    On Wednesday at 11a.m. the club will provide lunches for 300 FCC students, and will be providing musical entertainment with a message of God’s love and good news.

    On Thursday, March 6 there will be a social gathering where there will be mixers, food, and scriptures about God’s love.

    When asked how she felt about the “Got Love” booth, Kandace White said, ” I have been wondering all week what those red signs meant, after I found out I thought it was a great message to be sending out there. Everyone has been hurt in some way shape or form, so I think it is a great message to tell remind people that you can always turn towards God.”

    Even though not everyone is a practicing Christian, De La Isla said “People that were not religious at all have come over to talk, listen and have an open mind, that is what all we are asking for.”

    Romans 38-39 was painted on the back of the shirts worn by all members of the club.

    De La Isla said, “This is the good news that we are trying to promote to everyone.”
