College students will play an important role in leading what may be a revival in the United States, InterVarsity National Evangelist York Moore says, in a recent interview with Mission Network News.

It’s been three years since my life was radically awakened. Three years since I got on a plane for twenty-four hours and got off in a completely different world. Three years since an Ethiopian coin was slammed down in front of me and an unforgettable phrase uttered...

As our eight-person leadership team crammed onto a four-by-four foot wooden platform in the middle of the woods for a team building exercise, I couldn’t help but wonder: How exactly is this going to make us more effective leaders on campus?

Since we change so much at college, the old patterns of home can create friction when we try to bring the two worlds together, especially when it comes to witnessing to our friends. We want to start by hearing their story and sharing our story.

Returning home after a year at college can be a challenge. Now that we’ve experienced God’s work in our lives, we want to introduce our friends to him. But how can we witness back home when we never did before?

I – like most college graduates – will be “wearing my debt” for the next 5-20 years after graduation. 

Moving from the States to serve students in Bosnia & Herzegovina 2 1/2 years ago introduced me to countless different ways of doing life. 

“If the Lord were to grant you the answer to one question, what would you ask?”  Paul Little offers this challenge in his article, “How Good is God’s Will?” in the June 1982 issue of InterVarsity’s HIS magazine.  What he concludes is that such a question would probably express our need to receive God’s guidance. 

When the graduating class tosses their mortarboards into the air this month, some of us will feel the temptation to collect all the stray hats and sell them on eBay.  We aren’t cheap or greedy.  We’re unemployed.

Secularism, the unofficial reigning world view on campus, is now a course of study at Pitzer College, in southern California.
