Over the past few years of IVCF @ SFU, we have had the privilege of running small groups which invite students into deeper community and fellowship with Jesus and His Word. This semester, we have had the chance to invite new 1st years, mostly Christians, into a deeper understanding of their faith.
However, even though we have an maxed out small groups this semester, something seems to be missing. Barron, Lida and I feel that we are missing the vision of IVCF @ SFU in Reaching the Lost. We have lots of Christians and they are finding it difficult to invite their friends to Bible Studies so what can we do? We need to create other venues to invite our friends into. Simple things like social events (potlucks, laser tag, extreme air park, etc.). Ones that will encourage people who would normally not associate themselves with Christians to start building trust.
For that, we will actually need a team to organize and plan this. We will be shifting from a core leaders group to an executive leaders group. We'll still be holding our core leaders meetings for the spiritual nourishment and passing off of vision to the broader IVCF ministry but we need a group of committed students to take charge of things like social events, leadership development, teaching, etc.
Barron, Lida and I are really excited about this because it will help accommodate the growing ministry of IVCF. Please be praying for us as we make this shift and transition into the New Year.
