John: “How are things going?”
me: “Well we have seventy students”
John: “Seventy?! Well that’s the most I think there ever
has been at Rider.”
(And he would know) –Dr. John Sheats is a chemistry professor who has been at Rider University since the 70’s, has never seen the group of students involved in InterVarsity ever reach 70.
John was profoundly impacted by InterVarsity during grad school, and has given it a place of importance in his campus life since. He has led faculty prayer meetings, helped with the student group, and gives to financially support the ministry at Rider.
Healthy things grow. As a group grows, so does their influence on the culture of the campus. Students become surrounded in their classes, on their teams, and in the dorms, with Jesus-followers.
And healthy things grow because of continuity. I am praying that I can be at Rider for years and year and years. That the group can finally take root, and take ground for the Lord.
Please give to the Rider staff account so that we are always funded and can stay on campus.
