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.

Joe Thackwell invites GFM staff to read about his experience that led to a deepening sense that God is multiplying and blessing our efforts to ask good and hard questions about the emerging adults and universities we desire to see transformed. He would love your feedback on his presentation and work with David Williams, sharing how they collaborated to create a seminar track for the Experiencing Life with God Conference in 2018 and  inviting you to explore these questions as well.

“Faculty who are serious about their faith are constantly thinking about how to live out their faith in their workplace—the campus...but may need your guidance, especially on how to reach the current generation of students.” -Fred Hickernell, Professor at Illinois Institute of Technology. Kathy Tuan-MacLean, Director of Faculty Ministry, invites you, GFM staff, to read Fred's Letter to Campus Staff that was posted on the InterVarsity Staff website.

Praise God for “God-incidences,” for GFM/UFM partnership, for Sandy Shugart and his legacy of godly leadership, and for faculty work that’s springing up in InterVarsity’s undergrad movement!

Have you struggled to find an outreach that can reach both graduate students and faculty? The "What Matters to Me and Why" speaker series is a university sponsored, secular series that encourages faculty to share something that is personally important to them and why. They can share about a charity they've started, their family, their childhood, or even share about their faith. The entire university community is invited, and a free lunch is provided as well!

Lisa Liou encourages InterVarsity Graduate and Faculty Ministry staff to have a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity as God stands ready to pour out blessings upon us.
