Reaching Students...


On Saturday Sept 5th, The New Hope Baptist Church and Evangel Church hosted a time for students to connect with one another. First year students and international students gathered with current IVCF members for a time of fun, food and developing new relationships. Beyond the water balloon fight and hamburgers, God was present to remind students of his love.

It was here that we met Alexandra, an International Graduate Student from China who became a Christian a few years ago in England as an undergraduate. Now, she is in Newark and has found a community which to belong. We are helping Alexandra find a local church and inviting her to join an InterVarsity Small Group. InterVarsity exists on campus to help students and faculty grow in their love for God, His word, His people and His purposes. Although students may come from different platforms in their faith, or no faith at all, InterVarsity remains present to point to Jesus as the Savior of the World. Please keep us in your prayers.

We have reach 330 students so far!
