half way...w00t!!!

I'm half way there!!!

Hello there friend =]
I just wanted to thank you for praying with me for my fund development. God has been doing some amazing things over these past two weeks. I am currently at 40% of my total budget, which is half way to my 80% funding goal. Praise God!

However, this also means that I need to raise another 40% of my total budget (which is about $28,000) in the next two weeks =X Please continue to pray for me and my funding as I am drawing closer to my funding deadline.

Good Soil. Bold Witness. Changed Hearts.In other news, part of what we are doing here in the New York/New Jersey Region is beginning a "40 days of extraordinary prayer". Intervarsity is a conversion ministry. Skeptic to Seeker to Follower to Leader to World Changer. But in order for our ministry to work, we need to PRAY that our message makes its way to Good Soil, so that we can engage our communities by Bold Witness, and invite students and faculty to turn their lives to Jesus resulting in Changed Hearts.

You might be wondering why now? Well, a big reason is that thousands of college students are on their way to campus this fall who do not know Jesus. They are hungry for meaning, they are thirsty to belong to a community, and more importantly, they are dead in their sin. They are in the midst of making friendships and decisions that may last a life time beyond their time on campus...and we want to meet them.

I would like to invite you to join us as we enter this season of extraordinary prayer. Beginning this Sunday Aug. 22, 2010 until Friday Oct. 1, 2010, I plan to pray for Intervarsity-Newark ministry everyday at 9:30pm-9:45pm EST. If you are able and would like to pray with me, simply call (218)-339-2626 and enter access code "7077465" to pray together with me as well as other Intervarsity-Newark staff, students, alumni, donors, churches, and friends. It's FREE!!!

So yeah, I look forward to spending 15 minutes with you daily in prayer for God to prepare the hearts of students on campus to receive His love...and that we will be bold witnesses to hearts that will be changed by God's power!

serving the Name above all names,

August 2010 Prayer Letter

Thank You! As I took some time to pause from working on my fund development earlier today, I came to realize that the amount of support and encouragement that I have received thus far has been a true testimony to God's abundant provision. It has been a true blessing to be in partnership with you in my new ministry with Intervarsity, and I wanted to take some time to tell you that I am extremely thankful for all the prayer support you are providing =] I am also thankful for all the financial support I have received thus far. I am now at 28% of my full budget. Praise God! As the school year draws near though, my goal of being 80% funded before the semester begins seems to be impossible for me to accomplish =X However, I was reminded in my prayer time this week that I serve a God who is abundant in His provision. Even though God has already provided so much for me, He has even more that He plans to give to me...because He has plans to prosper me, and He has plans for me to do His work at NJIT! So, I would love to invite you to pray with me this coming month in this manner: that as I continue to work on my fund development, God will provide the people and resources that I will need that will allow me to not only reach my 80% goal, but that I can be fully funded by the end of this month! serving the God of abundance, Boaz Tingson
