LU is the largest Evangelical university in the world with over 130,000 students. Yes, you read that correctly! They have 16,000 students on campus and another 115,000 online. It is precisely what the founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., had dreamed of. He wanted LU to be for the Evangelical Christian what BYU is for Mormons and Notre Dame is for Catholics. The campus is stunning in its beauty. The football stadium and facilities are first class. The chaplain of the LU football team, Dr. Ed Gomes, is such a delightful man who loves Jesus and loves people. He gave us a private tour of the football facilities, and wow, I was impressed.
Here is a picture of Dr. Gomes along with Go Tell Camp Executive Director, Rick Gage, Dr. Daryl Jones, chaplain for the University of Miami Hurricanes, and me:
