Enrique and Paola Herrera

Enrique came to Christ during his junior year of high school after he heard the gospel at a church retreat. He quickly understood that there was nothing he could do to earn his salvation because Jesus had already secured salvation for His people with His life, death, and resurrection on the cross. When he met a couple of guys on staff with Campus Outreach, he really grew to understand what it meant to live a life centered on Jesus and how sweet it was to walk in community with Him and other believers.

Paola grew up in a Christian home where she witnessed her parents’ faith in God, but she never understood her need for a Savior. She went off to college at the University of Houston, expecting to continue to find her worth in her performance in school, but through God’s mercy, she experienced the brokenness of her sin for the first time. She connected to Campus Outreach through her sister and began to see how Christ alone satisfies the lives of the community around her. She gave her life to Christ that next spring semester of her freshman year.

The Lord has given Enrique and Paola a heart for the college campus and has revealed the desperate need for laborers to harvest the fields of students in these crucial, fundamental times of their lives. Their vision for ministry is to see multi-ethnic college men and women understand their need for a Savior and surrender their lives to Him.
