Students have been trickling on to campus for the past week, and today it begins. Classes start at Hamline today, at St. Olaf tomorrow, and InterVarsity leaders at both schools have been hard at work preparing for the opportunities to meet new students and start off their ministry years strong. In the coming week, both schools are holding Student Activity Fairs where organizations interact with hundreds of students who are trying to find ways to connect on campus. Please be in prayer for these efforts at St. Olaf (Friday evening) and Hamline (Tuesday afternoon). Also be praying for the many other opportunities that students have to connect with new neighbors, classmates, coworkers, and teammates. This next month is when a lot of key friendships start, and I know that God is already at work to bring in new groups of students at each school.

One quick technical note...I have changed the address/name of my blog to more accurately represent the students I work with. If you have my previous blog (ivcf-hamline.blogspot.com) bookmarked or are following it, please update whatever is necessary.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support during this time. I will hopefully have many great updates and stories in the coming weeks about what God is doing on campus.
