Signs with messages “Can we pray for you?” and “Jesus loves you” are displayed outside the University Library on the Edinburg campus to invite students to join in prayer. The Rock of Ages Young Adults group meets from noon to 5 p.m. every Tuesday to pray for the campus community. Eduardo Cortez/THE RIDER

Students pray outside the University Library Oct. 10. “Monday, Jan. 30, from 1 to 3 p.m., was our first evangelism with a group from California called the Circuit Riders,” said Daniel Varela Jr., leader of the Rock of Ages Young Adults group on the Edinburg campus. Inspired by a college event called “Carry the Love,” ROA Young Adults has been present on campus to pray and evangelize the campus community. “We saw how a simple conversation or prayer with students fills them with so much hope,” Varela said.
