So after graduation I’m working with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/ USA.
Why?
I’ve seen God work in my life in so many ways through this organization. Over the past four years God has radically transformed so many aspects of my life, from the very way I view the Gospel to the way I view poverty and injustice in our world. I have seen Jesus better through the work of this organization. I believe that working for them will allow me an even closer look at the God I serve and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity.
What is InterVarsity?
InterVarsity is all about developing witnessing communities on the college campus. I envision a university transformed: where students are eager to integrate their faith and studies,where students regularly present the gospel to their friends, and where the community of Christ-followers brings honor to the name of Jesus in its love, size, and diversity. InterVarsity is an organization equipped to make this happen – I’ve seen parts of this vision realized on my own campus and I look forward to seeing them happen at Purdue University Calumet. I will be assisting in this through training and equipping college students. Only they can make this happen on their campus!
What am I doing now?
Right now I’m building a team of supporters as I move forward in this vision on the campus of Purdue University Calumet. InterVarsity asks all campus staff to raise financial support so they can give their full attention to ministry to the campus during the school year. For that reason, I am looking to raise funds. Because this role will challenge and grow me spiritually, I am looking for support in prayer. I’m looking to find people who want to be a part of this vision as it plays out on this campus over the next year- people who are excited about the things God is doing and want to get involved in some way.
What can I do?
If any of what I’ve said interests you, feel free to contact me at rggrider@ymail.com. While I hope to blog in more depth about some of the things I have said here (and others I haven’t), please don’t hesitate to get in touch by email. I look forward to comments to this post as well.
