My heart is filled with sorrow as the news was filled, once more, with images of a shooting on a college campus. The college campus is no longer considered a safe place to study and learn. It has become a volatile and unsafe place for many. The campus of Northern Illinois University does have an InterVarsity chapter and three IV staff workers. Please pray for these staff and IV Students as they help this campus process and mourn these tragic events.
This Monday, Feb. 18 from 12 - 12:45 p.m. we will host a prayer gathering at NJIT, Campus Center, Room 220 for the campus of Northern Illinois U and for our campuses in Newark and in our area. Would you come and partner with us in prayer? I encourage all to attend if you have off from work on Presidents' Day.
Let us pray passionately! May the students of our fellowships understand the need to be good listeners to their peers on campus, skilled to speak into difficult situations and able to discern when to act as they suspect danger.
Please visit CNN to watch and listen to a Northern Illinois U student's testimony:
