Basileia Update

NJIT/RU at Basileia Week 2 Hello Friends! Thank you so much for responding and praying while we were at Basileia. It was an extremely joyful time to be serving students and leading them in planning, worship, and inviting them to continue to say "YES!" to Jesus. Speaking of which, as you may have remembered, I mentioned that we had non-christian students attending camp with us. And I wanted to share the great news that we saw a total of 6 new conversions at camp during week 2...in which 2 of them were from NEWARK!!! Say what?!?! WHOooOoOoo!!!!! This is the first set of conversions we have witnessed since I've been on staff with InterVarsity at Newark. (yes, first set...we are definitely anticipating more this year!) It is such a blessing to see students making decisions to move from darkness to light.  Would you continue to pray with us as student leaders are in the process of making plans for the upcoming school year? We are looking and anticipating God to do GREAT things in Newark and we can't wait to see what God has in store. Student leaders are extremely pumped and excited. We (the staff team) are extremely pumped and excited...and we pray that YOU (our partners and supporters) are extremely pumped and excited for this coming school year! May HIS kingdom come, HIS will be done, on the campuses in Newark as it is in heaven. serving the Name above all names Boaz Tingson Newark Staff Team Leader Also, here's a few snapshots from Basileia!!!

Thank You! It is because of your support that I was able to witness such an awesome event at Basileia. It is because of your partnership that I am able to continue to train, challenge, and invite students to say "YES!" to Jesus. It has been an incredible journey to witness the transformation of students at NJIT, Rutgers, and Essex. I am hoping to continue to serve God in this way, but I am currently $6,000 short of my financial goal this fiscal year (It ends this month!!!). Will you please pray for God to continually provide for the financial needs of my ministry? I am also looking for new partnerships for the upcoming year, if you know of anyone that would be interested, please do let me know!

Spring 2013 Ministry Update

Web Site | lnstagram | f Like                                                                           Another year of ministry & Basileia!!! This semester concluded my third year on staff with InterVarsity. 3 YEARS!!! It has been an incredible journey and I am thankful for the continual support I have received from you. During our last large group this semester, one of our seniors and exiting VP, Will Pennock, shared about his personal transformation over the past 4 years as he was involved with the ministry on InterVarsity at NJIT. Included in his testimony was the transformation of the chapter. He talked about how during his freshmen year, IV consisted of 2 small groups totaling ~12 members at NJIT. That night, he was speaking infront of 60 students at a large group, in which about 25 of them were NJIT students! WHOOO!!! God has been extremely faithful to the growth of the chapters at Newark. Here are a few things that we are inviting you to celebrate with us from this school year: We ended the school year with 159 students regularly involved with the ministry of InterVarsity at Newark. (That's 59 more than last year!!!) We have seen over 20 students step up to be servers and leaders in our chapters. (that's over double what we had last year!) At this current moment, we are planning to send 48 students up to Basileia (18 from NJIT, 16 from RU, and 14 from ECC). WHOOOOO!!!!!! It has been an extremely exciting year, and it's about to get even MORE exciting! For the first time in my tenure here as staff, we are sending non-christians up to camp!!! say what?!?! That's right, students have invited their non-christian friends to come up to camp with them. This year, we have been searching and learning what it means to cultivate a witnessing community. As a result, students have responded boldly and invited their friends to join us for Basileia. Their desire to see their friends say "YES!" to Jesus is evident as they have made every effort to raise scholarships to help reduce the cost for camp. Over the past month, our student leaders have been able to raise over $3,000 for scholarships!!! Praise God! We are growing!!!     As we have been experiencing growth among our students and chapters in Newark, we are also experiencing that same growth among Staff. I am extremely excited to tell you that I have been invited to step up to be the Staff Team Leader of Newark! Now as you know, there's only 2 of us on staff at Newark at this point. (Stephanie and myself). But wait! There's going to be more!!! It is my honor and privilege to introduce to you, Joanna Babiarczyk! She has been provisionally appointed to join our team at Newark =] We are extremely excited to have her and we are praying to get Joana on campus by this coming fall semester. Would you join us in praying for the support that she needs to raise. If you feel led to make a donation to support her, please follow this link and support her today!
