I'll let some other folks do the talking...

Hello again everyone,

The semester is winding down and the snow is piling up (ugh), but there's some more cool stories to share...this time written by other folks! Here's a few quick links of stories that have been written by/about our work across Iowa this fall!

• A story off our national InterVarsity website about Ethan, a student at UNI who gave his life to Jesus in September: http://www.intervarsity.org/news/forgiven-in-full
• A story off the website of 24.7 prayer (i.e., Red Moon Rising for those of you who have read that book), about our chapter at Central: http://campusamerica.org/stories/18
• A story from the student newspaper at Drake University about our staff (Amy Schoepf) and chapter there: http://www.timesdelphic.com/2009/12/09/intervarsity-leader-uses-faith-in-work/
• A collection of stories written by students from Central about how they used a $20 "reverse offering" (yes, we gave everyone who came $20!)...some very cool stories! http://20forchangecentral.blogspot.com/

It's actually been pretty rare that we've had other folks writing about God's work through our ministry so it's been a unique blessing to get to have our story be told on a greater scope, enjoy!

Grateful,
Jon

PS...One of my staff, Sherami Hinders (planting at the University of Iowa) will be giving a testimony at Urbana09 (http://www.urbana09.org/home.main.cfm) to 20,000 students on New Year's Eve (talk about pressure!) I'll post the video link of her testimony here after it's available! :)
