Athletes and Alumni Bringing Joy

Kevin and his wife Hannah (SRJC InterVarsity Alumni)
Praise God for Alumni
On Monday, we had Kevin Escher (one of the first students apart of SRJC InterVarsity 6 years ago) speak at our Large Group Gathering. We are going through the life of Moses this semester, and Kevin spoke to Moses’ early beginnings and the ways God was developing him into a world changer. He asked students to consider how God might want to use their gifting’s, passions, education, and circumstance to be used as a World Changer for God. Many students responded by standing to receive prayer that God would equip and shape them in to the men and women he desires them to be. I am very excited to see how Kevin has continued to grow in his faith and leadership. He will be volunteering some of his time this semester to serve students. 
Students decorate room with frames asking questions like
"What's God's Purpose for me?" 

Athletes pursing God
We have been praying for athletes, and we keep meeting new athletes! Every Wednesday night, student Athletes get together for a meal and to study Jesus’ parables.  We are starting to see more relationships develop between teammates as they look at the bible together. Please continue to pray for these Athletes!  

What’s on the Horizon?
This upcoming weekend we are sending students and staff to Ethnic Identity Conferences. This is an opportunity for students and staff to engage with each other on the topic of Ethnicity, Culture, and Faith. This topic is new and sensitive for some. Please pray that God would speak to us as individuals and communities as we learn about the integral parts of how we were created with purpose.
