School is almost here!!!

NJIT Campus Center during the summer School is just around the corner!  and we need you to PRAY!The school year for the Newark Campuses begins on 9/1/11. In just two weeks, what seems to be an empty student center will be filled with thousands of eager and bright young minds pursuing to find their place in society. They are hungry for meaning and thirsty for community to belong, but more importantly, they are dead in their sin. They are about to begin or rekindle friendships and make decisions that will last beyond their time on campus...and I can't wait to meet them!!! As our former Regional Director puts it, "our work began as a response to the prayers of students, faculty, parents, and friends. Our work continues as an expression of our prayers that God's kingdom come. Our work will endure only if we listen to God and partner with God in prayer...so we're going to pray!" We will be beginning our 40 day prayer campaign starting this coming monday (8/22) and it will last until the end of September. Please join me in praying for the ministry of Intervarsity throughout the campuses here in New York and New Jersey. I hope to send you our daily prayer emails with a short prayer request from myself over the next 40 days. Please keep me accountable in keeping you up to date with our prayer initiative =] So what's going on in Newark? Our outreach initiatives this coming monthWith new students arriving in less than two weeks, Newark student leaders have been hard at work with planning and thinking through how we can meet them.

Pictures from this summer =] Newark Student Leaders working hard to plan during the summer! Glow sticks! Each glow stick represents a student that came to Christ through the ministry of Intervarsity from 2006 to 2011. Last year we saw 303 students in NY/NJ come to faith through our ministry!
