Spiritual Formation

Living for Jesus — Campuses Renewed

When college students experience pivotal, transformative moments with God, he might not change what they do but always changes how they do it. For Joshua at UCLA, one simple question changed his perspective of his life on campus and future vocation. He realized that his purpose as a believer is to reflect the kingdom of God. Through your prayers and support, InterVarsity equips students to be a formative presence in the world around them. They grow to display Jesus to everyone they meet in everything they do, joining in God’s mission to restore and renew brokenness on campus.
