Happy (Fiscal) New Year!!!

Hello, friends!

It's July which means it's time for InterVarsity to turn the calendar over to 2016-2017! Here in Mid-MO, that means we have a lot of really great things on the horizon. Get excited!

New Hires! As of July 1, we officially have hired a new intern, Danny Poon, to take over Mizzou ACF! Danny is a Mizzou ACF alum who graduated in 2014. He has a big heart for students and loves working with them. We're super excited to have Danny on the team and are really excited to see what God is going to be doing through him these next 2 years (and maybe beyond?!?!)

New Chapters! With the beginning of the new year also comes new opportunities for reaching new corners of the campus! First up, Asian American graduate students and faculty. We're still not sure of how this will work exactly but Charis is going to be focusing her time on that population in Columbia. As someone who was an Asian American graduate student herself, she knows the rigors of life and how faith is crucial to that walk. Hooray!

New Campuses?! June ended with a flourish in terms of contacts from other campuses who were interested in potentially starting a new InterVarsity chapters on new campuses across Mid-MO. We have no idea if any of these campuses will stick at this point but it's exciting to think that this could be a year of great expansion.

Those are just a few of the highlights from what to expect this upcoming year. We know that everything is going to depend on the grace and provision of God and that in this job, things can turn from good to bad in a hurry. Still, we're excited for the possibilities and ask for you to pray for us. Let's do this, New Year!!!

Have an excellent day!
