Even though I grew up in the church, Intervarsity helped me make a personal decision to follow Christ. I've also gained mentors and shared things I never thought I'd be talking about. Through Intervarsity, I've made some lifelong friends and many memories that I'm thankful for. Some key moments are: 1) witnessing a friend accept Christ at Urbana 18 and 2) simply doing life with another friend turn back to Christ after a season of depression. Its unfathomable how God uses my past experiences to guide others to have a relationship with Christ!

Did God change your life through InterVarsity?
