Mixed Nuts at Campbell University
A CBR volunteer answers a student’s questions about Christianity and graphic images.
It seems Campbell University has strayed further from its Christian roots than we initially thought. One CBR volunteer adequately summarized the harsh reality of our time there, ” I felt like I spent more time defending the Gospel than I did defending babies.”
If she could, she’d ask not to be killed. CBR Staffer Joanna was left bewildered by one student’s questions: “Is the baby saying ‘don’t kill me? Are they asking not to be killed?” Common sense tells us, that a tiny baby in the womb is not talking, but a violent death would certainly be something she would not want.
Sarcasm fail. “God!! Go away!! I’m on my way to get an abortion!” We were left saddened by the woman’s callous remarks, and earnestly prayed that her words were nothing more than an insensitive attempt at humor.
Looking forward to Hell? Sarah proudly proclaimed, “I am an atheist. I plan to be in hell after I die. I am looking forward to it. I don’t care much for my life.” She “danced” with CBR Staffer Jane Bullington as she attempted to cover up our photographs with her jacket.
Christian college hides pro-life support. A jogger stopped to encourage us: “We have 10 children. Thanks for what you are doing. There is a lot of support on campus but the school is trying to keep that under cover.”
Shocking reality on Christian campuses. A female student boldly admitted: “There is no intention to lead people to the Lord here. There are so many non-believers, yet our classes either ignore faith or teach heresy. I complained about the “Overview to Christianity” curriculum to the professor and she said to take it up with the administration. In my 5 classes this semester, I bet 70% are lost.”
Despite the information age, ignorance still exists. At a very minimum, showing college students the reality of abortion silences those who deny that it is an act of violence. A young man audaciously claimed that, “All abortions are done by C-section; no baby is ripped apart,” all whilst standing in front of our photos.

In Fall 2019, CBR also visited Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina during our Revival Project Tour. We spent three days engaging with the campus community about abortion and ultimately, the Gospel.

Mixed Nuts at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
Our first visit to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) was eye-opening. One would hope that on a Christian campus there would be more students and professors who were encouraging than unsupportive. That was not the case at SEBTS. Folks, we are losing the abortion war in the Church, in large part because our Christian colleges and seminaries are graduating pro-abortion students. However, not all hope is lost. Mixed in with the ugly, we saw glimmers of God’s grace at SEBTS.
Seminary students see how abortion grieves the heart of God.
“Babies go to heaven anyway.” Joanna was taken aback by this student’s comments, but started asking questions, hoping for a meaningful conversation. At the end, he said he appreciated her and felt like, “God was speaking to me through you.”
Save a child’s life by ending it? Logic and reasoning are not a strong point amongst today’s college students. Regardless of whether it is a secular campus or a Christian one, students argue that children should be aborted in the womb because they “will die anyway from a hard life.” CBR Staffer Mik’aela Raymond was ready when one student made such a bold presumption: “We don’t believe in killing children so that they won’t die.”
Mom mystery. A mom walked up with her elementary school aged child and began showing her daughter the photos. We were sure she was on our side and wanted her daughter to know the truth of abortion. But in fact, “I used to be pro-life until I grew up and got smarter. I’ve had an abortion. I know friends who wish they had aborted their disabled child.” We need to be praying for this mom and her young family.
Women need to see before it’s too late. “I had two abortions without seeing pictures in the womb. I was on my way to abort my 3rd but decided to have my son.” CBR Staffer Joanna asked her if these pictures would have stopped her from aborting her first two children. “Probably,” she said.
So much for “love your neighbor.” On our second day a man approached and yelled, “You people are what is wrong with the world. Someone needs to punch you all in the face.”
“Scripture is enough; people don’t need these graphic pictures.” After talking about the history of social reform and Christians continuing to have abortions in spite of pastors who talk about abortion, CBR volunteer Laurice encouraged the man who claimed this to show the truth in conjunction with his preaching, so lives would be saved. He softened and walked away, saying he would do his research.

As part of our Revival Project Tour in Fall 2019, CBR stopped by the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary to talk to Christian students about modern-day child sacrifice. Though not on the campus grounds, our location on the sidewalks directly in front of the main entrance allowed us ample visibility.
