End of August Prayers and Praises

Praises:

  • A successful Leadership Retreat for Southern Utah Schools
  • April, our new coworker, has been wonderful in engaging with our IV leadership team, and is fully committed to the many new students she has met this first week of school.
  • We passed out almost 800 fliers last week, and met 79 students who wanted to hear more about InterVarsity!
  • Baby Tappan and mama are healthy and looking forward to baby's arrival SOON!
  • God has answered our prayers to start an International student outreach (to love the foreigners among us), and we have met over 20 INTL students interested in a Bible study!
  • Our New Student BBQ was a success! We had 35 students attend, which was lower than we were hoping for, but our leaders connected well with the 25 NEW students who came, and having it on campus was very helpful.
Prayers:
  • Please pray for Samantha as her due date has arrived!
  • Pray for these 79 new students, that they would follow through on their initial interest in coming to a small group Bible study.
  • Pray for our New Student Outreach at UVU. The first week of school is over, but our student leaders are now investing several hours a week in contacting these new students, getting to know them, and inviting them into our community. We would love to see God bring us:
    • Freshman
    • Christian students with leadership potential
    • International students
  • Pray for our staff and student leaders as they plant new Bible study small groups in these areas:
    • Arts Department
    • International Students
    • Dance Department
    • Fitness and Health Center
    • Freshman and Transfers
    • Faculty and Staff (YES! We finally know enough Christian faculty and staff at UVU to start a small group on campus!)
