I can still vividly recall my first days of Orientation and classes as an incoming first-year student to Michigan Tech. Having grown up in a Christian home, school and church, I had no idea what to expect on a secular campus. I remember seeking out a role in several Christian organizations, but for whatever reason, I never found my niche. There were plenty of organizations to choose from, both religious and not, and throughout the barrage of pamphlets and recruitment materials, I eventually settled into several campus organizations, none of them faith based.

I became deeply involved with the Michigan Tech Lode as an editor, but I was still seeking to get involved in Christian work. Upon God's leading and encouragement from several others, the idea of a Christian newspaper formed. To make a long story short, after almost a year of planning and recruiting, Cross Reference published its first three issues last semester, and is back this year ready to serve the campus community. This paper seeks to encourage and challenge believers and non-believers alike to openly discuss spiritual matters.
