Eighty percent of college students we surveyed say that they’re the loneliest they have ever been—an all-time high. Over half of all students experienced depression or anxiety last fall.

They long for someone to lead them to hope. Someone to connect them with the God who sees them and loves them. Someone to welcome them into a community of friendship and joy.

Someone like a campus staff minister.

Elias’ Story

When two InterVarsity students invited Elias and his roommate to a Bible study, something inside them was immediately interested. “Ok, we’ll come,” they said.

As they walked down the hall, Elias felt worried. He’d tried reading the Bible on his own and had gotten overwhelmed. What if he said the wrong thing? Or didn’t understand what he was reading? Or got overwhelmed again?

What if this was just another place where he didn’t belong?

But as he met Amanda and the other students, Elias began to relax. None of his fears came true. He felt more comfortable with each Bible study. More at home. More certain that learning about the Bible wasn’t a chore— but a gift.

Elias attended more InterVarsity events and felt a growing sense of belonging with the other students. As he did, his understanding of God changed too.

“[Growing up,] going to church for me…was just the right thing to do,” Elias said. “But now it’s more than just rules. I actually have a relationship with Jesus.”

Will you give to help fully-fund a campus minister so they can invite more students into life with Jesus? Through your partnership, you help spiritually lost students like Elias experience the whole-life transformation that a relationship with Jesus brings. 

Being a part of God’s plan on this campus, reaching out to people who are hungry to follow Jesus like I was, is a great thing to be a part of.

  —Elias, University of Alabama in Huntsville

Prayer Matters

“When students experience God in prayer, it comes with heart change and seeing campus in a new way...[wanting] other people to know Jesus the same way we do.”

–Luke, Campus Staff Minister, University of Wisconsin–Whitewater 

Community Connects

“I didn't have a personal relationship with Jesus growing up, but by coming to InterVarsity, now I do! I want to grow in relationship with him, and I’ve learned how much easier it is to do that in community.”

–Elaine, student, Assumption College

Love & Trust

“I have developed a new sense of love and trust for the Lord, and that is all thanks to the endless opportunities I’ve had through InterVarsity.”

–Christy, student, Quinnipiac University
