Regional Staff Conference and almost able to start

I (Kathryn) just returned from five days with the NY/NJ staff members.  While there we were reminded of the needed changes required to reach the 1.4 million students in the region.  Fredonia learned at Basileia that many changes were needed in our chapter to reach the campus effectively and to build an ethnically diverse witnessing community.
My track taught us how to lead change, through the many stages and years it takes.  I have been reenergized to change the campus and see the extreme urgency.  The plans the student leaders and I designed in May have been adapted and modified to better fit the needs for this coming year.  Many things are changing from last year impacting our prayer, worship, small groups, large groups, outreach, and leadership program.  Yes, this is almost everything that InterVarsity focuses on.
While I am ready to see these changes implemented, I'm reminded that I am not yet on campus.  At this point, with one week before students arrive to start our carwash fundraiser and just days before the Resident Assistants and International students arrive, I need an additional $3,000 to start.  This would get me to the needed 70% to begin working on campus, helping the students to cast the vision and implement the revised changes.  So for anyone thinking or praying about starting to financially support the ministry of InterVarsity at Fredonia, I invite you to begin now.  Your contribution would impact the success of the changes for this year and the years to come.  Please consider starting today!
