Missionary Update -- Intervarsity

Published August 19, 2024

The Four-Week Window

Soon the next generation of world changers will arrive at campuses across Chicagoland. They will arrive with hopes and dreams of what they think these next years will be like. Pictured below is most of the Chicagoland staff team who will welcome this next generation and invite them into a missional relationship with Jesus. Studies show that in this critical four-week window, college students are more open to everything, including spiritual conversations, and that they make significant life decisions. Therefore, we want to give new students the option to say "yes" to being transformed into people that make a difference in the world. We want to connect new students into a community that will encourage them to ask deeper questions about life, faith, and the world. We hope that many get to encounter Jesus in a meaningful way.

Family Update

This summer we vacationed in Connecticut and visited CitiField, as we love seeing baseball stadiums across the US.  As we start the school year, we now have a 6th grader, 5th grader, 3rd grader, and preschooler - in addition to Gregg teaching 6th grade.  We are excited for a new year and cherish your prayers for us in this season!
