Rick Mattson and Rob Narske share a story about growth in evangelism.

Please stop using the name “Passion Talks” and pick up our new name, “Square Inch Seminars.”

My first priority each year for this September communication is to say THANK YOU to all of you campus staff for engaging over these crucial weeks in outreach to new grad students (and even creative attempts to connect with faculty that may be new to campus or just new to you).

When we talk about longing for revival or seeing campuses renewed or seeking signs of shalom, we are praying the big, resurrection-aware, your-kingdom-come prayer that Jesus taught us. Along with the GFM Leadership team, I am being invited to press deeper into such praying. I invite you to press in with us.

A Grace and Mercy grant (allocated by Tom Lin) allows us to award incentive grants to 15 GFM campus staff to pilot Communal Scripture Reading on campus during 2019. This fits with a “key action” in our new GFM Strategic Plan: to resource GFM staff for excellence in training student and faculty in scripture engagement and faith/work integration. Read more about this grant opportunity.

We would love to share your stories from Urbana with other GFM staff to encourage our ministry to continue seeking a diverse, evangelism-focused ministry that God uses to reach every corner of every campus. We hope you enjoy this first collection of stories. Please email myra.koontz@intervarsity.org with stories about your Urbana experience.
