The speaker recounts her arrival at NYU in 2001, just two weeks before September 11th, a shocking event that led a fellow student to invite her to pray, ultimately guiding her to the Word of God.

She found the initial New York environment isolating, but quickly found the transformative, non-judgmental community she craved in The Navigators, where a small group of students "lets you put everything forward and loves you." She emphasizes that the Navigator staff's intentional pursuit and relational investment, particularly as someone from a divorced household, provided a deeply needed support system.

Her experience taught her the essentials of disciple-making and Scripture memory, equipping her to eventually join the staff and, using the skills learned, witness the salvation of her entire family. She concludes with her current passion to implement the "life-to-life discipleship" culture in her church, encouraging every member to be a vital influence in making disciples.
