117 Freshman Reached... So Far...


















IVCF students have been gathering to meet and mingle with incoming freshman on their campuses. Our New Student Outreach events are focused to let Christian students know that InterVarsity Christian Fellowship exists on campus so they don't have to live our their faith alone, but can grow deeper in it! But we also engage incoming freshman with conversations about truth and their expectations in their academic careers. Some come with set opinions, others haven't thought about God's role in their life... but we hope our time with them encourages them to pursue TRUTH in Jesus, not in a specific major alone. Please keep us in prayer as we have spoken and follow-up 117 incoming freshman, but there's a huge harvest field to keep working in.














Last week in Newark, NJ a young woman who was a high school grad was shot at her graduation party. The other young woman who shot her, and was fleeing from police, just turned herself in. This is such a tragic event in Newark, NJ, but it also reminds us of the importance to reach these young men and women with the Gospel. Please continue to pray for us as we continue to meet incoming freshman on our campuses. To learn more about the shooting, visit www.nj.com
