Freshmen Arrive!

The excitement has been building all week! Monday was Festifall, a time to meet new freshmen at Wayne State's activities fair. Members of the chapter were stationed at a table and wandered the crowd asking new students if they were interested in learning more about a Christian group on campus. We ended up getting the names of 106 students!

Tonight we'll have a "phone-frenzy" to remind every one of those students of our first large-group meeting which will be tomorrow evening at 6:30. There they will hear more about what InterVarsity, what our vision for campus is, and how students lives have been changed. This is an important time for freshmen to know that there is a community that wants to accept them, love them, and develop them into the people God made them to be. For now, I'm praying and ask you to do the same, for two significant relationships with freshmen who are Christians and two who aren't.

Yesterday I was officially hired at Starbucks! Thank God for this position. It allows me to supplement my funds, receive benefits, and develop relationships with students who frequent the store.
