Cooper’s story is a powerful example of God’s transformative work in the life of a young man and the ripple effect it can create. Cooper came to college uncertain about faith, but early in his freshman year, he joined a ‘Not a Fan’ book study. Week after week, Cooper wrestled with what it meant to truly follow Christ, slowly processing the gospel message. It wasn’t an overnight decision, but through consistent love and open conversations, Cooper embraced the truth of Jesus and committed his life to Him.
As Cooper’s faith deepened, his passion for reaching others began to take shape. He became actively involved in his fraternity, eventually stepping into the role of president. This leadership position provided Cooper with a unique platform to connect with his fraternity brothers in meaningful ways. Cooper began investing intentionally in the lives of the men around him, creating space for spiritual conversations and demonstrating what genuine faith looks like. His boldness in sharing the gospel and living out his faith was evident to his peers.
One of the most significant impacts came last spring when the new fraternity president came to faith after several months of conversations with Cooper. Seeing this young leader surrender his life to Christ was a joyful moment, marking the culmination of God’s work through Cooper’s influence. This fall, Cooper had the privilege of baptizing him, celebrating not just the new president’s decision but also the fruit of faithful discipleship.
Cooper’s story is a reminder of how one life transformed by the gospel can become a catalyst for change within an entire community. His willingness to lead with humility and boldness has paved the way for others to encounter Christ in a place where many may not have expected to find Him.
