Greetings my ardent IV members,
As of today, you have less than one month left of classes. Time is short, but it always was. Make the most of it.
Just some thoughts from me. We've been contemplating just what our chapter's purpose and ministry here on campus is. Ask yourself this: What do you want to see happen on campus? More specifically, what do you want to see God do on campus?
Really? Then pray for it, and ask God to make you part of His answer to that prayer, and expect great things.
Me, I want to see Christians reaching out to each other and supporting one another in love, encouraging each other to grow closer to the Lord and love Him more. I want to see Christians reaching out in love to their campus and community with the message of hope found in Jesus Christ. That is my prayer, as well that God would permit me to be a part of His work, and that He makes me ready.
We'll talk more at Basileia. See you there. :)
-Jon
P.S. I still pray for you all.

Basileia cometh!
Hello people!
Just wanted to check back in and give you all an update from the inside. God has really blessed us with some amazing ideas this semester, and it's been great for exec to see the humanitarian efforts of Love146 & Invisible Children come to campus. It is awesome to have Christians show God's love for people through supporting things like those.
Don't forget that Basileia comes soon! We'll be heading there May 10-15 & having an awesome time. I was told over & over last year (when I was still in the dark about the amazingness of the retreat) that I COULD NOT miss it. It is one of those things that, if you haven't done it yet, you will plan your summer around for years to come. Last year I did the Encountering Jesus track - taught by Greg Jao (WOOT!) and an in-depth look into the REAL Jesus as per the Gospel of Mark. So sign up...God is good, Saranac is beautiful, and the food, well, mmm tastiness!
Also, we really do want to have your feedback. People are getting involved, bringing things up for us to involve in - the humanitarian efforts, the Fellowship of Christian athletes small group, all great things that we couldn't do without your help and vision. As exec, we hope that you all come to understand why we as Intervarsity do what we do - it's not just a great Friday night, or great outreach event, we are out to change our campus for God's glory.
So thank you again for a great semester so far, and until Basileia, TTFN!
