Thanks to you . . .
thousands of students and faculty are experiencing a new life in Christ.
And in dorms, labs, studios, teams, houses, and home countries, tens of thousands are living out their faith and leading with excellence.
Every year, we produce an Annual Report highlighting measurable outcomes of our ministry. But statistics don’t reveal the countless “ordinary” moments—when students choose obedience to Christ, for example, or faculty realize Jesus loves them apart from their achievements—that lead to long-term transformation. It’s a joy to partner with you in inviting more students and faculty to experience the literally life-changing hope of Jesus. I can’t wait to see how the Lord will work as we continue to pursue our goal of catalyzing gospel movements on 2,500 US campuses by the year 2030 and witness to his ordinary, extraordinary ways in every corner of every campus.

“When I first went to InterVarsity, people
genuinely wanted to know about my life.
That was something that was so foreign
to me—this kid that was pushed to the
side, that no one wanted to know.”
—Angel, Honolulu Community College
“I was used to people reading [the
Bible] and then just telling me what it
said. But with InterVarsity, I was able
to ask questions and clarify what I
was learning and how I could
apply it to my life. . . .
Everything started making
sense at that point.”
—Essence, Meredith College
