I'm a Business Major here at USF, and have been extremely involved in campus clubs & organizations since my Freshman year. I have been blessed to be part of Chi Alpha Leadership here at USF for 3 years now, and the experiences and people I've met along the way have been breathtaking.

I have accepted the position of Associate Director/Pastor this year because of I have felt a true tug of the Spirit to do so; I have never felt so much peace and assurance of any other deciion I have ever made. This year, I want to live and lead in a manner that will move the hearts of College Students by the passion, grace and love of God. To engage them in a Christian walk that sets them apart from the status quo; and to encourage them to live a life worthy of the Call which has been placed upon their lives.

I will be graduating in Spring 2011 with a degree in Biology and a minor in public health. I love the outdoors and am on the USF Cycling Team. God has always played an active role in my life whether or not I chose to acknowledge it. I'm looking forward to seeing how God will continue strengthening, growing, and challenging us here at Chi Alpha and USF.

I've been a Christian since I was young. I grew up in the church and I still hold tight to my Faith even in my college years here at USF.  My heart is with Jesus Christ our Lord and I await his return. I can't wait to see what God will do this year at Chi Alpha and at USF

 

 

Danielle McFarquhar

 

 Hometown: Lakeland, FL

Friends call me Danie because Danielle seems to be too long? I keep God first and let everything else in my life fall into line. I love my friends and my family we've all come such a long way. Life is a blessing and I intend to take advantage of every opportunity I have to enhance the lives around me. I love people and I love to communicate-I think it's a gift. "Prayer is my thing," and I believe to whom much is given much is required; which means work hard and do your part when you're blessed. Love and be loved.

Hi! I am a Biomedical Sciences and Music Studies double major here at USF. I am involved in a number of organizations and campus activities ranging from Pre-Med AMSA to USF Opera Productions, but the one organization that has impacted my life the most is Chi Alpha. God has done some amazing things in my life through Chi Alpha and His Grace, Mercy and Love have changed my life forever. It is my desire to see other lives changed just as mine has through a genuine relationship with Christ Jesus. That’s why I am so excited to see what He has in store for me, the members of Chi Alpha, and all of USF this coming year!

I am pursuing a career in Elementary Education. I have a heart for missions and hope to one day teach in less fortunate countries. I grew up in a Christian family, always involved in ministry. However, it wasn't until I came to college that I began to discover my personal and true identity in Christ. Chi Alpha has played a huge part in my
spiritual growth and I feel so blessed to be apart of leadership for my second year now. The amazing members of chi alpha have become more then just great friends, they have become my family.

Being part of the Chi Alpha experience at USF has helped me connect with other wonderful Spirit-filled Christians on campus and has given me the opportunity to share my heart with others outside of the organization. I believe it is imperative to be trained and equipped for the ministries in which God has placed each and every one of us. Chi Alpha builds up the individual in Christ while maintaining a community atmosphere, and I am excited to have the opportunity to share in this ministry. I desire to see students realize their true potential and identity in Jesus Christ, for the Kingdom of God to come to earth, and to see our generation rise up as radical revolutionaries to change the world.


 

 

Marie Marshall

 

 Hometown: Port Charlotte, FL

Hey! My name is Marie, and I am a senior Psychology major at USF. I've been in Chi Alpha on and off since freshman, not because of the group but because of some serious family and personal issues. Chi Alpha has really been a group of loving and compassionate individuals who are there no matter what and helped a lot throughout my circumstances. They really know how to show the Love of Christ! :) I have been really blessed to be apart of a phenomenal group of college students and Christians, and I'm excited for my final year as a USF Chi Alphian! Go Bulls!


 

Michelle Heon

Hometown:

I am a junior at USF majoring in Business Management. I love music and everything it brings. Hanging out with friends is a passion of mine. Laughter pretty much sums me up. Most of all I have been blessed to be apart of Chi Alpha. Since I was in high school, I prayed, searched and hoped for a place like Chi Alpha. A place where family is the heart and God is the key. Being able to gather together with my fellow brothers and sisters in christ. Surrounded by total surrender, is more than I could ask for. At Chi Alpha, Christiannity is not just a word, but an actual lifestyle. That's why I joined!

I am a Sophomore and a Secondary Math Major at USF. I Grew up in the Church and my grandfather, uncle, and dad are all pastors. I am a part of the equipment team for the USF football team and I was in the Herd of Thunder Marching Band last year. I am really excited about this upcoming year and what God has for Chi Alpha; last year was awesome and the group ended on a high note - God was really pouring out His Spirit in the services.

My desire, more than anything else, is to be where the Lord wants me. I have been in ministry for the majority of life. It is my passion to share the love of Christ with those around me and to serve where I can. I am going into my second year here at USF, and so far every part has been a joy! Chi Alpha has been instrumental in part of my journey here and with the Lord. It has been an honor to be able to connect with God side by side with others who are passionate about the Lord and their dreams and to be challenged to reach out and share the love of Christ with fellow students here on our Campus.  I am so excited about starting up the new year!
