Stories from Campus

Though she already had a solid relationship with God, Angelica hadn’t yet found a good fit when it came to Christian community. Until near the end of junior year when her friend Joy Hope invited her to InterVarsity.

Like most freshmen, Sarah was excited and a little nervous to begin college. But throughout her time on campus, God built her trust, showing her that even if she didn’t know how, he was going to produce fruit that would last.

InterVarsity at Michigan State is showing students that anyone can have the potential to be a leader — even those who might be unexpected. Through the ways they’re raising up leaders, students’ lives are transforming.

On the Purdue campus, every Panhellenic sorority has a Bible study and so do over half of the fraternities. Fueled by spiritual hunger and steady discipleship, Greek InterVarsity at Purdue is training and sending students to their houses to love and witness to their friends, until “every Greek is one friend away from Jesus.”

I stepped into my first large group session at Urbana 25, longing for my bed, after a 27-hour road trip from Wisconsin to Arizona. But that first night Jennie Allen told us to open our eyes. To ask ourselves what was holding us back from receiving what Jesus had for us. To listen. I realized that there were more important things than getting enough sleep that night. By the end of the week, I understood why the Lord had brought me to Urbana.
