But that goal is much harder to reach when colleges and universities across the nation send their students home during a health crisis.

Going Online

“This disruption at first… created a slowdown or a pause in our ability to get to new campuses because you physically couldn’t go to campuses; they were closing,” says Jason Thomas of InterVarsity. “That had a significant short term disruption to our work, but we made a pretty significant shift fairly quickly to try to move ministry online wherever we could.”

InterVarsity has a specific team whose sole purpose is to consider effective online ministry, including small groups, prayer meetings, and leadership development. They’re even considering a large group meeting that would involve worship and a main speaker.

So when COVID-19 forced many schools to close their doors, InterVarsity stepped up to the plate with digital alternatives to in-person campus ministry. So far, students are responding positively.

“What we’ve seen, interestingly, has been a large number of new students getting involved with Intervarsity because they find that getting plugged in through digital means either is easier to do than walking into a new meeting or new dorm room or they’re hungry or eager,” Thomas says.

Students are looking for answers and community in a world without either of those things. InterVarsity wants to fill that gap for them.

What Comes After

Right now, the endgame of the U.S. response to COVID-19 is uncertain. Universities are still considering how to proceed on the other side of quarantine, and even if they deem it safe to readmit students to campus, they may not turn away from their current digital approaches.

If more classes go online and more students pursue digital education, InterVarsity wants to meet them there.

“As campuses get better at teaching, I think you’ll see a pretty significant jump into this space. At least that’s what we’re anticipating and trying to be prepared for both,” Thomas says. “We believe that we’re going to have to be ready to do a dual platform kind of ministry, the kind where we do it traditionally on campus meeting face to face in dorm rooms as well as have a second platform that’s online trying to reach students through digital means.”

Do Your Part

Want to help? You don’t have to wait for students to come back to campus. InterVarsity already has space for volunteers to provide online services and discipleship measures. Whether you’re partnering with InterVarsity or simply looking for ways to do ministry from your own home, InterVarsity has resources for you right here. If you want to connect with students directly, contact InterVarsity and ask how you could get involved.

Do you know high schoolers or college students looking for ways to connect during quarantine? Every Friday, InterVarsity hosts an event called InterVarsity Live to help people do just that.

But there’s one more group who needs help and prayer: faculty. Thomas points out that many faculty are experiencing their own challenges and fears. Consider reaching out to any faculty you may know to show them support, and even if you don’t know anyone personally, keep them in your prayers.

And whoever you are, have hope.

“We don’t know that we know exactly what will happen, but we’re really open to hearing and listening to what the Lord is doing in the midst of this,” Thomas says ”I think we’re very eager to see what the Lord will do to draw people to himself.

“We’ve invited folks to consider what other losses they’ve experienced and how do you lament those losses? How do you grieve those things? And in some ways, going through that door might lead you to increase hope over time, even though you might feel despair in the present.”

EveryCampus with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship helped support Collegiate Day of Prayer. InterVarsity’s Jon Hietbrink says yesterday, they saw people doing prayer walks on campuses, praying in churches, and hosting prayer events to see God move. Collegiate Day of Prayer even did a live simulcast from a historic Yale chapel that broadcasted all over the country.

“Part of what I love about Collegiate Day of Prayer is there are lots of different avenues for people to get involved and to participate,” Hietbrink says. “The hope is that it’s, of course, not just one day of prayer, but actually a day to shine a spotlight on the strategic need that campuses [have] so that folks would continue to pray for campuses long after Collegiate Day of Prayer is done.”

Other ministries involved in Collegiate Day of Prayer included Chi Alpha, Luke 18, Campus Renewal Ministries, Cru, and Navigators.

Hietbrink says the unity demonstrated between Christian campus ministries for Collegiate Day of Prayer is really unprecedented. But to reach the over 4,000 college campuses in the US with the Gospel, one campus ministry can’t do it alone.

“God knows every single one of those campuses and every single student and faculty and staff that comes through the doors of those campuses…. When we pray through Collegiate Day of Prayer, we get the chance to join in something that Jesus is doing and we gain a greater measure of God’s heart for these campuses and these students. It’s a privilege to be in that space.”

It’s not just ministry leaders leading the charge. Students are also taking the initiative to prompt a movement of the Holy Spirit on their campuses.

For example, Hietbrink says he heard of one group of students from Tennessee who road tripped from Knoxville to New York City. Along the way, “I think they prayer walked something like 20 or 25 different schools as they road tripped up the eastern seaboard. They visited campuses, they made contacts on those campuses, sought to pray for the blessing of God to rest on those campuses.”

The need for a spiritual revival among college students is great.

“This emerging generation — call them iGen or Gen Z — is fraught with anxiety, dealing with profound issues of loneliness and isolation from their peers. So the opportunity is really pronounced on college campuses for students to encounter the good news of Jesus in a fresh way, in a way that’s relevant and compelling to them that meets the needs that they have and that they experience on campus.”

Also, Hietbrink points out that college students are unique agents for the Gospel because they are more mobile and can go wherever God calls them.

Although Collegiate Day of Prayer is over, you can still adopt a local college to prayer walk through EveryCampus here!

EveryCampus can help you search for campuses near you. They also provide a customized prayer guide for the campus you prayer walk “to pray on-site with insight.”

For now, Hietbrink asks, “[Pray for] students and faculty and staff — that they would meet God, that they would encounter God on campus, [and] that He would empower those people who already follow Him to bear witness to His goodness and His Gospel on campus.

“I think we’re in the midst of witnessing something pretty historic right now. So it’s a great time to be engaged with young people and to be serving and loving college campuses and we couldn’t do it without the support of the broader Church.”

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship began its Native-specific ministry in 2000. Today, the program is changing lives, perceptions, and even worship styles.

One Journey Creates a Path

Megan Murdock Krischke joined InterVarsity as a student, then went on to join the staff after graduation. Krischke is the daughter of a Cherokee mother and a Wyandotte father, so it didn’t take long for her to notice there was nothing for Native students among InterVarsity’s multi-ethnic ministries.

“I knew I was Native and just cared about everyone having a place at the table,” Murdock Krischke says.

“My dream for my life… is that by the time I die, Native communities would find it laughable that they ever considered Jesus the ‘white man’s God’. Because the reality is, He’s… an ethnic man, a tribal man.”

In 2016, Murdock Krischke became InterVarsity’s first-ever national Native Ministries Coordinator. She identifies five thresholds each Native person must cross in their journey of faith.

Step One: Trust

The first step is the hardest one: beginning to trust Christians. Given historic relations between Christians and Native communities, this can be a long and difficult process.

“The Church has mistreated Native people and communicated that they’re not made in the image of God… that’s just a big threshold [to cross],” Murdock Krishke says.

Several years ago, Murdock Krishke and her husband began a Native-specific chapter at Fort Lewis College in Colorado.  Describing her experience gaining the community’s trust, Murdock Krishke says, “When we first came to Fort Lewis, they wouldn’t even let us hang a poster in the Native Student Center. But, in year seven, we had a key.”

Step Two: Curiosity

Cultivating curiosity is a little easier, Murdock Krischke says. When believers express their faith through Native culture, it sparks curiosity.

“They have had the Church telling them ‘You can’t do that’, and they’ve had traditionalists saying ‘You can’t do that’,” she says of incorporating faith and Native culture.

InterVarsity’s Native ministry incorporates Native drums in worship and frybread in communion, giving a familiar feel to things that were formerly foreign.

Step Three: Opening to Change

After crossing the first two thresholds, some young people begin to “test the waters” by participating in community worship, Murdock Krischke says. From there, they may attend a Bible study. These steps mark the transition to a deeper level.

Step Four: Targeted Seeking

Change can be difficult, no matter your ethnic background. Many Native young people question how following Christ could impact their relationships at home.

For example, “We had a student whose father was very anti-Christian…before she could make a decision to follow Jesus, she needed to have a conversation with her dad…and seek His blessing,” Murdock Krischke says.

Though it was scary for this student, her father supported her decision. Acceptance can make it easier for students to cross the final threshold: becoming a Jesus-follower.

Step Five: Following Christ

Although these thresholds are common to most Native believers, the path isn’t always linear.

“They can kind of loop around and move forward and backward. But, [this is] a general journey we see students go through as they’re making faith decisions,” Murdock Krischke says.

Your next steps

Murdock Krishke encourages U.S. believers to learn about the Native people of their region. See an interactive map of Native lands here.

Believers can also support organizational leadership. Each staff member raises individual support and, for Native leadership, the combination of wary communities and limited resources can make this difficult. Donate here.

InterVarsity is working to build relationships with tribal colleges. Pray for responsiveness and close relationships. Ask the Lord for an atmosphere of trust, and pray Native students will be loved and served.

But InterVarsity Christian Fellowship believes a revival is on the way. National Evangelist for InterVarsity, York Moore, explains that InterVarsity felt the Holy Spirit leading them to work with college students towards a revival in their EveryCampus initiative.

EveryCampus is a collaborative initiative dedicated to bringing Gospel communities to every college campus in America. How do they plan to do this?

It starts with prayer. “We designated 2019 as the year of prayer for EveryCampus. And our goal was to simply prayer walk on site, physically, every single one of the 4,948 campuses in America,” Moore says.

Over 3700 Campuses Prayer Walked

A Prayer walk is a simple act of walking through a college’s campus with a group of other volunteers to pray for a revival at that college and to pray the students there would come to know the Lord. EveryCampus provides Prayer-walkers with a helpful prayer guide to walk them through the steps of praying over a campus.

Currently, EveryCampus has prayer walked over 3,700 college campuses.

According to more, “That was really extremely exciting to see so many people… get behind the vision of prayer walking the campuses of the United States. But we want more. This thing is about revival.”

It’s not just volunteers getting on board to partner with EveryCampus; churches want in, too.
“EveryCampus is not just about campus ministries doing more campus ministry, it’s really about the church join us to reach these unreached campuses, the underserved campuses,” Moore says.

Reaching Every College with the Gospel

For EveryCampus and many other ministries, 2020 is the year of the Bible.

“It’s a global movement, to really ignite a Bible revival,” Moore says. This year the goal is to get everyone into a consistent practice of reading the Bible and knowing God’s Word.

EveryCampus will also use this year to launch Gospel communities on college campuses and evangelize college students. “We hope to mobilize thousands of people… to reach their campuses for Christ,” Moore says.

If you want to help bring a revival to America’s colleges, you can partner with EveryCampus to make that happen. Moore explains that there are still 1,000 campuses left to be prayer walked by people like you. Find one near you here.

You can also donate to InterVarsity here.

“EveryCampus is really also about mobilizing people to be on mission with Jesus on our college campuses and being led by the scriptures. So, this is a prayer movement, it is a Bible revival, all for the purpose of reaching every campus in every state of America,” Moore says.

Would you pray for a revival to happen on college campuses?

Prayer Walk a Campus

There are only eight days left in 2019, and just over 1000 college campuses in the United States still need prayer walkers. Will you help prayer walk the remaining campuses?

“Any of your listeners could visit EveryCampus.com. And when you go there, there’s a really easy way to search for a campus near you. You can search for a particular campus, you can search by zip code or city, and it will pull up the campuses near you. It’ll tell you whether that campus has been prayer walked yet or not,” Jon Hietbrink says, InterVarsity’s Vice President of Campus Ministry in the Central United States.

“If it hasn’t yet been prayer walked there’ll be a green button where you can click ‘start here,’ and enter either your phone number or your email address and we’ll send you a customized prayer guide that you can use to shape your prayer walk on that campus. And then at the end of that prayer walking guide is a button for you to be able to say that you completed the prayer walk and that will update our count down.”

Results of Prayer Walks

Hietbrink has participated in prayer walks which have taken only 10 minutes. Other times, the Holy Spirit has prompted him to pray longer. Regardless of how long a prayer walk lasts, InterVarsity believes it is a powerful experience, setting foot on a college campus and joining God in that space.

“Our hope with that is that people really start to experience what we in campus ministries see every day, is that Jesus is alive and well on every single campus in the country already. We don’t bring God to those campuses. God is already at work in those places, we’re just joining Him,” Hietbrink says.

Stories have reached Hietbrink’s desk from people with whom InterVarsity did not have previous contact. They are stories of people who felt moved to prayer walk a campus where they knew no one, yet God led them to a student or faculty member who wanted to start something new on that campus. To prayer walk a campus before 2020 comes, click here.

Looking Ahead to 2020

In 2020, InterVarsity plans to mobilize the Church further to reach college campuses across the United States. This will look like continued prayer and even efforts to start new Gospel communities on college campuses.

“Our desire would be that there wouldn’t be a single campus left in the country that didn’t have a local community of Jesus followers meeting on that campus to seek and bear witness to His presence and His lordship on that campus,” Hietbrink says.

Marc Papai, Director of International Student Ministry for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, says there are many different ways international students are counted. For example, students in exchanged programs or who are studying at language schools are sometimes counted, too.

International Students and YOU

Either way, Papai says building genuine relationships with international students is an excellent opportunity to reach the nations.

“Now we have about 500 chapters in InterVarsity that have international students involved in them. And they become a part of the flow of the chapter life together. So, that includes social outings, meals together, lots of tea and coffee drinking together, and building those kinds of friendships in the context of which we have the opportunity to share the good news of Jesus,” Papai says.

But, as much as 75 percent of international students in the U.S. never see the inside of an American home. This Thanksgiving is a chance to change this statistic. InterVarsity is helping every-day Americans connect with international students to host them in their homes.

“You can search on [InterVarsity’s] website to make a connection with a staff member in your city or near your location, who’d be elated to hear from you about having an international student, or two, or ten; we’ve had 24 at our house for Thanksgiving in the past. It’s such a delight to bring the world around your dining room table,” Papai says.

This week, as preparations are underway to thaw a turkey, bake bread crumbs for stuffing, and recreate grandma’s famous cranberry sauce, take a moment to consider inviting an international student, who is far from home this holiday season, to a seat at the dining room table.

Invite a New Thanksgiving Guest

InterVarsity has connections with hundreds of international students, and Papai says the organization is happy to connect believers to students looking for a place to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. Another option Papai suggests is to talk to a church leader and ask if the church has any connections to help extend a Thanksgiving invitation to an international student this week.

“I cannot tell you how many families have told me that they are the winners, so to say, in this relationship. That they feel blessed…and it can become the beginning of a very long relationship,” Papai says.

Hosting or not, please pray for international students and God’s work in their lives. Pray for international students to feel welcomed in U.S. homes. Pray for the connections made this holiday season to build trust and life-long relationships where the truth, love, and hope of Christ is experienced.

What is Campus Ministry

“People conceptualize campus ministry as doing evangelism, discipleship, Bible study

(Photo courtesy of InterVarsity)

missions, to a campus population, as if students were targets. And that is not at all how we conceptualize campus ministry, we care about the institution itself,” says York Moore of campus-focused ministry InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.

The university is more than buildings and students; it’s a culture-changing force for future generations. Future leaders, doctors, and judges are beginning their journeys now. Learn more about InterVarsity’s mission to reach campuses here.

The Influence of the University

“The university is.. a source of power in our culture. It creates culture, and it creates leaders for the next generation. And so if we’re going to be serious about, say, reaching the world or seeing culture change in America, we better make sure that the university is high on the list,” Moore says.

As he sees it, Jesus cares about it all, from research and scientific studies to football games and campus events.

“It’s part of the kingdom of this world that will one day become the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ,” Moore says, “…Christ died to save sinners from their sins, but Christ rose so that he can reign in victory over all of the systems and structures of this world.”

Understanding this call and influence drives InterVarsity’s passion for college campuses and Moore’s enthusiasm for campus ministry. The atmosphere of transformation and discovery has consistently struck him.

“You have people not only wrestling with their own lives, but they’re wrestling with the big ideas that shape culture and policy and all kinds of things. And we get to be right there in the midst of that moment for the students in that nexus that red hot nexus, where they’re trying to figure it out.”

Praying for the Next Generation

Students on campus today will all play a part in the direction of the future. Pray for wisdom and that they will be equipped with the educational and spiritual tools they need to tackle the challenges coming their way.

Chances are you know a college student or two. Pray for them and their educational and faith journey.

InterVarsity encourages covering campuses in prayer. Consider adopting one to pray for each day or go beyond and start your own group. See InterVarsity tools here. If you’re a student, find out if your campus is one of the 650 with an InterVarsity presence.

Perez, a guest speaker hosted by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA, is a gym teacher and part time staff member of Athletes InterVarsity in Philadelphia. He uses his story to help disciple and encourage students.

Finding a New Path

Growing up, Perez felt worthless. His family was big, but most members were poor role models. Many of his relatives were incarcerated or had been deported for drug activity. That was the path he assumed he would follow as well.

So it was a shock when his doctor told him drugs did not have to be his end.

Perez explains, “There was a point when I was at the doctor’s office and he said, ‘If you don’t change your lifestyle, you’re going to be dead before you’re thirty, and coming from where I came from, I thought that that was going to happen through either selling drugs and getting caught up in that game. But it was just being inactive and so that that actually helped change my mindset.”

Sports became a way for Perez to leave behind destructive health habits and stay away from drugs. Coaches and sports mentors invested in Perez and helped him gain confidence in himself. Their impact changed him. Now, Perez wants to do the same for kids he teaches.

Sports and Missions

Recently, Perez took students with Athletes InterVarsity to Northern Uganda on a missions trip. They were helping start sports camps for refugee kids. While he was there, he realized he didn’t know the language, so he reverted to a gym teacher’s bread and butter; he began to use his whistle to teach kids how to play new games.

Within a few minutes, kids were playing and laughing. In the midst of a refugee camp, kids forgot the horrors they had seen and enjoyed being active.

“If play has this power,” Perez told his team, “imagine what prayer has the power to do. And so in that refugee camp, I saw the Gospel and was able to share the Gospel through play.”

For Perez, that is what sports help accomplish. They are a road to reaching people who need hope.

Get Involved

Whether sports is your passion or you’re interested in something else, Perez encourages believers to imitate the kindness and truth telling qualities of Christ to those who are hurting.

“You know Satan does a good job of just speaking lies and so being that he is the father of lies, having people in our lives to speak truth [matters]. It doesn’t always have to be this prolific moment. It could just be, ‘Hey I see you. You’re doing a great job.’ Or ‘I see what you’re doing.’ And getting to know the person and getting to know where they’re coming from [is important].”

Join Athletes InterVarsity as they offer the hope of Christ to collegiate athletics and see athletes and coaches transformed.

Religious Discrimination Suit

(Photo courtesy of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship via Becket Law Media Kit)

In InterVarsity v. University of Iowa, a federal court ruled that the University and its officers violated the law when they kicked InterVarsity off-campus for asking its leaders to be Christian. A dozen other religious groups—including Sikhs, Muslims, and Latter-day Saints—were also kicked off campus for requiring their leaders to share their faith. But all secular groups and a few religious groups favored by the University got a pass.

In a ruling last Friday, the court held that this discrimination was so egregious that the officers involved would be personally accountable for any money InterVarsity lost fighting to stay on campus. The court left open the possibility that the University’s president, Bruce Harreld, could also be found liable.

InterVarsity on Campus

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship has been at the University for over 25 years. It welcomes all students as members, and only requires the students who lead its ministry to affirm its faith. In the past, the University has honored InterVarsity for its contributions to campus life. But in June 2018, the University claimed that, by requiring leaders to affirm their faith, InterVarsity was violating the University’s nondiscrimination policy. The University then limited InterVarsity’s access to campus, froze its bank account, shut down its website, and advertised that it was “defunct” for lack of student interest.

(Photo courtesy of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship via Becket Law Media Kit)

As a result, InterVarsity suffered its sharpest membership decline in over twenty years. Friday’s ruling confirmed that the University’s actions violated the Constitution and ordered the University to respect InterVarsity’s right to select religious leaders going forward.

“We must have leaders who share our faith,” said Greg Jao, Director of External Relations at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA.

“No group—religious or secular—could survive with leaders who reject its values. We’re grateful the court has stopped the University’s religious discrimination, and we look forward to continuing our ministry on campus for years to come.”

Previous Warning Against Discrimination

InterVarsity USA is on 772 campuses nationwide. Its University of Iowa chapter hosts weekly Bible studies and monthly meetings for prayer, worship, and religious discussions on current issues. In upholding the group’s right to be on campus, the court noted that, just last January—in the related case of BLinC v. University of Iowa—it already warned the University against enforcing its policy unevenly.

(Photo courtesy of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship via Becket Law Media Kit)

The court stated it “would never have expected the University to respond to that order by homing in on religious groups[]” like InterVarsity, while “carving out explicit exemptions for other groups. But here we are.” The court did “not know how a reasonable person could have concluded this was acceptable,” since it “plainly” doubled down on the exact same conduct the court had already held unlawful. In a hearing last week, the court described the University’s conduct as “ludicrous” and “incredibly baffling.”

“It’s too bad it took twice for the University to learn its lesson,” said Daniel Blomberg, senior counsel at Becket. “There was no excuse the first time for squashing students’ First Amendment rights. University officials nationwide should now take note that religious discrimination will hit them in the pocketbook.”

Pray for the Gospel’s continued ability to go forth on college campuses. Also, pray for the University of Iowa’s administration to have wisdom in how they apply the college’s non-discrimination policy. And pray for the students leading InterVarsity Chapters to have courage as they share Christ on their campuses.

(Photo courtesy of Nurses Christian Fellowship)

“This is my favorite time of year…welcoming new students to campus and to their nursing program. It’s our critical time of the year to reach them and welcome them and invite them into Nurses Christian Fellowship. We’ll have tables [and] we’ll have outreach events where students will be inviting them into a community,” Jen Wojtysiak says.

“It’s busy, it’s full. It’s wonderful as we see nursing students take risks for Jesus, and invite their classmates to come and explore who He is, and what it means to be a nurse that follows Jesus.”

Nurses Christian Fellowship

NCF holds regular Bible studies for nursing students as well as for nurses. Nurses deal with a range of physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges daily. NCF provides a space for nurses to rest in Jesus, find community, and prepare for challenging work. But it is also a great place for nurses to look at their work through a Biblical perspective.

“Nursing is a deeply sacred work of caring for [the] body and mind and spirit. But it’s also taxing as they are pouring out physically and emotionally and spiritually. And Jesus can be there with them,” Wojtysiak says.

NCF also provides guidance in areas it knows nursing education lacks, such as spiritual care.

(Photo courtesy of Nurses Christian Fellowship)

“We are able to give them resources for spiritual care, which is something that most nurses need to know something about, but there’s actually very little training. And so, we can come alongside them in that way, and provide material and examples that will equip them to care for patients in their time of need, and end of life, and walk alongside them and resource them in that way,” Wojtysiak says.

Join or Support Nurses, Nursing Students, and NCF

Are you a nurse or a nursing student looking for a likeminded Christian community? Then find an NCF group or start your own HERE.

“You can join NCS, which is a membership for students and for nurses, where you’ll receive the award-winning Journal of Christian Nursing. You’ll get free and discounted opportunities for continuing support and care, and you’ll connect with other nursing students and other nurses around the world,” Wojtysiak explains.

(Photo courtesy of Nurses Christian Fellowship)

Not in the nursing profession? Then please pray for Christian nurses. Pray for God to give nurses and nursing students wisdom and strength in Christ. Pray for student leaders and faculty advisors leading NCF groups on campus. Ask God to give these nurses and students encouragement, support, and energy during this busy season.

Also, pray for nursing students to have the courage and confidence to invite fellow nurses to learn about Jesus. Pray for the students and nurses who are saying “yes” to Christ for the first time, too.
