Hello, friends!
We are writing you from California and Missouri at the same time... how did that happen? Well Adam is out in California visiting family & friends before we both attend the Asian American Staff Conference in Long Beach, California. But for now, we are excited to update you on how the Lord has been moving in St. Louis & Columbia!

Megan's Corner: READY TO FOLLOW JESUS
Pheobe* was curious about Jesus from the moment she arrived. Throughout the school year she was an actively involved in the fellowship & her church. Last week, as I talked to Phoebe & her roommate, Penny*, I asked how their perspective on Jesus had changed over the year. Penny pointed out that Phoebe was ready to become a Christian. She told me “At Bible study I just had the feeling I was ready. My heart started to pound and I just knew.” Up until that point she hadn’t prayed to commit to following Jesus. So the next day we met together & prayed. Guess what? We have a new sister in the Kingdom! Her roommates have already seen a change in her!
Praise Jesus for:
- New Life! Pheobe hopes to share with her family & friends about her faith in Jesus! Please continue to pray for them.
- Bible Studies & Prayer Groups! 3 Bible Studies and 3 Prayer Groups are starting on campus. Praise God for student witness on campus!
- New Committed Students: God is answering our prayers for new leaders. We have seen 4 new people step up into serving roles in the group. Praise God!
Adam's Corner: Watching God Grow Things:
This semester has certainly been a semester of growth at Mizzou, Columbia College, FloValley, and beyond. I have been blessed with the chance to work with so many great students and staff this semester. Praise Jesus For:
- <!--[endif]-->New life at FloValley! Last week, one student decided to give his life to Jesus while going through one of our interactive displays.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->- <!--[endif]-->MOmentum! MOmentum is our area-wide evangelism training. Right now we have 10 students from Columbia College, FloValley and Mizzou experiencing Jesus while learning how to share the Gospel with their friends.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->- <!--[endif]-->New campusesI have been working with staff and students potentially plant new InterVarsity chapters at Webster University in Saint Louis and Missouri State University in Springfield. Praise God for all the great ways that he continues to work in Missouri!
CityLights:
With the Spring semester comes City Lights, our annual Spring Break project. Every year, students from all over the US come to Saint Louis to learn about God’s heart for the poor while working alongside those who are working to rebuild the city. We currently have 15 students from Mizzou, UMSL, and Columbia College attending this year, ready to see God work in powerful ways.
Moving & Life Transitions
After much prayer, we have decided to move to Columbia, MO to
continue InterVarsity work at Mizzou, grow international witness
there, oversea a chapter plant at Columbia College, and begin to
scout out more campuses. We are excited to work together as we
begin this new season in our lives. God has provided a new staff to
continue to lead at UMSL. We are grateful for how the Lord continues
to guide us as we begin this transition.
