Andy: Hey everybody. I am here with student leader Everett. So Everett, why don’t you tell everybody about yourself?

Everett: Hi! I’m a third-year student, and I’m currently a double major in Applied Mathematics and Music Composition.

Andy: Awesome. And how did you find out about Cornerstone?

Everett: It was my freshman year, and both my parents went to Pitt. My mom specifically had gone to Cornerstone, and she said, “If it’s still there, you should check it out.” My brother, Asher, and I were like, “I don’t know… school’s hard. Let’s settle in first.” Eventually, later that semester, she said, “All right, you’re going to go.” And I thought it was really cool. It was a very welcoming environment the first time we went.

Andy: That’s awesome. And thank you, Mama Harrington, for giving us your kids!

Everett: Yeah. Shoutout to Debbie.

Andy: So, what has Cornerstone meant to you?

Everett: The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Cornerstone is community. Like I said—the welcoming environment. I think we’ve done a really good job with invitation and just being a place where people feel like they belong. That’s something that’s really stood out to me and something I’ve seen grow during my time at Cornerstone.

Andy: That’s awesome. We’re so glad to have you in Cornerstone. Is there anything you’d like to say to my supporters, my friends who are watching this?

Everett: Thanks for all that you do. I think it’s really cool that we can continue to be a great organization for others—for outreach and invitation—because of you. So, thank you.

Andy: Well said. There’s still plenty of time to donate. The links will be in my bio and below. And thank you to Everett, and thank you all for watching!

Andy: Hey everybody, I hope you're doing well! I'm here with student leader Simon to tell you a little bit about himself and about Cornerstone. Simon, why don't you introduce yourself?

Simon: Hi, I'm Simon Lingle. I'm a senior civil engineering student at Pitt, and I'm part of the Wednesday night team here at Cornerstone. I help run our flagship Large Group on Wednesday nights.

Andy: That's great! So, how did you first hear about Cornerstone?

Simon: Well, a family friend from back home went to Bellfield about 30 years ago and suggested I check it out, saying, "It might still be all right." So, when I got to campus, I showed up on the first Sunday and thought, "Everyone here still seems about all right." I then decided to check out Cornerstone, and guess what? Everyone there also seemed all right, and it just kind of stuck. Now I'm here, probably doing way too many things!

Andy: Yes, you do a lot of things, and I'm glad we’re "all right!" So, Simon, what has Cornerstone meant to you?

Simon: A heck of a lot of things. It's my primary friend group and social network—it comprises most of the contacts in my phone at this point. It’s also been my best opportunity in a long time to express myself spiritually and grow in my faith, both in a strictly biblical sense and in how I express it outwardly.

Andy: That’s awesome! Lastly, is there anything you'd like to say to my supporters or to those watching?

Simon: This dude right here [gestures to the Andy] is like a top-five influence on me, period. He’s extremely generous with any student he meets—he’s even bought me Taco Bell numerous times by now! So, if you feel like donating Taco Bell to a broke college student, or if you want to support the wonderful ministry Andy's been doing here, it might cost him a few bucks, but it’s totally worth it!

Andy: Thank you so much, Simon! And to everyone watching, there’s still time to donate. We have a new campaign going, and there’s also the regular way to donate. The links will either be below or in my bio. Thank you all so much for your support and love. God bless!

Andy: Hey everybody, Andy here. I'm here with John who's going to be telling us a little bit about Cornerstone. So first, John, tell us about yourself.

John: Yeah, my name is John Darnall. I'm a rising junior Computer Engineering major from Coatsville, Pennsylvania. I've been with Cornerstone since my freshman year. Excited to be here.

Andy: And how did you hear about Cornerstone?

John: I was raised in a Christian Presbyterian household, so my parents have been involved with my home church. It happens that my home church is in the same denomination as Bellefield Presbyterian Church where Cornerstone is based out of. So, it was a very logical step as I was going to college to go to the EPC church that's right on campus. Turns out they had a college ministry, Cornerstone. The first day we visited the church, I was greeted by various students who were older than me. They invited me to Bible studies in large groups. It took a little while to come around as I was getting adjusted to college life, but I got plugged into a small group led by Andy with two other students. And from there, I continued to come, and I've been coming ever since.

Andy: Awesome. We're glad that you're in Cornerstone. So tell us, what has Cornerstone meant to you?

John: Well, the biggest thing is it's really kept me centered in college. I feel like it can be really easy to get lost in all of the academics and different friend groups you can find. And just Cornerstone has been that centering place that I always come back to. The people there are so loving and godly and have played such a large impact on my life. I would not be where I am today without Cornerstone, without a shadow of a doubt.

Andy: That's awesome. Thank you so much for sharing that. And is there anything you'd like to say to those watching?

John: Thank you so much for supporting this man right here. He is so awesome. As I mentioned, I've had the pleasure of being in a small group with him since my freshman year. I've gotten to know him, be mentored by him, and guided for these last three years, and I'm excited for the fourth year. I can call him both a mentor and a friend. He has had such a large impact on my life. And by supporting him, you are supporting students like me and the ministry itself. Thank you so much for that.

Andy: Thank you. And if you're interested in donating, we have a new campaign that will be going on, or the regular donation link which will be listed below. So, thank you, and God bless.

John: Thank you.
