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,
Boaz Tingson
