Thank You for Making New Year’s Conference Possible
Because of you, New Year’s Conference was a powerful and unforgettable moment. This year, over 3,300 college students gathered from across the world—from London to South Africa to Mexico—along with students we brought from Chicago.
God worked mightily. Students grew deeply in their relationship with Him. Some professed faith for the first time. Many made clear lordship decisions. Others committed to mission trips and long-term gospel impact.
Your generosity and prayers created the space for God to move. As you continue to pray, we ask that New Year’s Conference would mark the beginning of one of the most fruitful years in these students’ lives as they seek to know God and make Him known.
Thank you for partnering with us and for making this conference possible.
Student’s Testimonies
New Year’s Conference has been incredibly helpful for my faith. It encouraged me to grow in community, something I didn’t have growing up. After each session and breakout, our group talked through what we learned, which helped me understand things I hadn’t noticed before. I grew alongside my community and became more confident in my faith.

New Year’s Conference was a life-changing experience. From meeting people from all over the country to building strong relationships with others from the same city, it opened my eyes to how many people are truly hungry for the Lord. One of my favorite moments was ending the conference in late-night worship, singing to the Lord together until the venue shut us down. It was a powerful and fitting way to end the week.

As an athlete, going to New Year’s Conference for the first time was a powerful experience for me. I was newly baptized, and being there helped me grow both spiritually and personally. I connected with athletes and non-athletes alike and realized we share the same struggles and desire to follow Jesus. Through community and conversations, my faith became stronger and more personal.

This was my second New Year’s Conference, and it was just as impactful—if not more, than my first. The Lord used this conference to help me overcome shame and remind me that focusing on Jesus, not my failures, is what truly brings growth. Each time I leave NYC, I feel more in love with Him and more confident in my walk. I’m so thankful for everyone who made this experience possible for students like me.

“ love Campus Outreach. It is radically God-centered and radically in love with college students who need Christ. It is a growing global movement that I support with joy. To see the Christ-exalting fruit that comes in the conversion and spiritual growth of students through the work of Campus Outreach is deeply satisfying.”
