At one time in her life Rosaria Butterfield was a lesbian college professor with a goal of persuading Christians to the LGBT point of view. How she came to be a Christian and leave her lesbian identity is testimony to the power of the Bible and Christians who took the time to engage her in a spirit of truth and love. Her advice to Christian students includes advice every Christian can use. The following excerpt is the last paragraph of Rosaria Butterfield’s article “Engaging gay activists on campus: A primer” published on the Intercollegiate Review website: “Christians befriended me when I was their staunch enemy. They didn’t identify with me. They identified with Christ, and then walked the long and winding road to me. They trusted that God was bigger than me—and they were right. Don’t ever doubt that in the smallest act of faith and obedience you are planting, or watering, or tilling, or harvesting a legacy of Gospel truth. To God we give the glory!”
