It's Time!

Hello, friends!

Happy August to you!  Do you know what August brings?  No, not just the Summer Olympics, although those have been epic.  August also brings the start of the new school year! 

That's right.  In less than 3 weeks, Mizzou students (as well as Flo Valley students) will be starting classes for the 2012-2013 year.  It promises to be an amazing year. 

One of the reasons why this time of the year is so important is because it sets up InterVarsity for the rest of the year to come, and even for the next 4 years.  Every year, a new class of Freshman enter college.  Within the first few weeks of school, they find their group of friends and usually what extra curricular activities they are going to do.  These choices often stick with them for the rest of their college careers.  Added to that, every year we see students return to school who had a change of heart over summer.  Some want to "get back to Jesus."  Others want to believe that there is something more to life than what they have now.  In either case, those first few weeks often determine whether or not these students will get what they are trying to find.  

Friends, the truth is simple.  I really want the students at Flo Valley and Mizzou to know who Jesus is and follow Him with their lives.  That means that we need to meet them first.  These next few weeks, as we prepare for students to return, will you pray with us and for us?  This ministry does not happen without your prayers and support.  Please join us. 

Prayer Points:
- In 2 weeks we will be having our pre-Fall retreat for Mizzou.  Please pray that this will be a time of reconnecting with Jesus, reconnecting with each other, and reconnecting with the vision of ACF and BCM. 
- Please pray as I continue to do work work connecting with faculty and administrators at Flo Valley.  Pray that we will find "people of peace" who can advocate for what InterVarsity wants to do on campus. 

Have an excellent day!
