More stories of God at work!

More testimonies from Basileia's student leadership conference. 

Thank you so much for allowing me to grow deeper in my faith at Basileia!  I can't wait to put God's word into action next semester as I enter into leadership on E-board at Fredonia.  God has beautiful plans for me and I'm so undeserving of His Grace, but still He chose to call me child!  [Sophomore]

Thank you for your generosity and prayer.  IVCF has helped me and my friends form closer relationships with God and has provided many opportunities to be His hands and feet on campus and in the community.  Thank you for being a friend to students like me who desire to see God move! [Junior]

Thank you so much for blessing me with the funds for Basileia.  This week I was faced with the questions "What does it mean to follow Jesus where He goes?"  "What's holding you back from following completely?" I realized that I am very weak.  I often times doubt God's faithfulness and limit His works to my own capabilities.  I have had a lot of time to spend in prayer asking God to kill the doubt and renew my faith.  During the Retreat of Silence, He showed me this word and I hope it is encouraging to you as it was to me.  Romans 5:2  "Because of faith, we stand in an undeserving privilege, surrendering to His leadership.  Praise God that His mercies are new every morning.  [Sophomore]

Thank you very much for the generous donations you have given to InterVarsity.  Personally, it allowed me to attend Basileia.  While at this Christian retreat, I experienced God in new ways and grew much closer in my walk with Jesus.  InterVarsity has changed my life as well as many other students'!  Some have made the decision to follow Christ while others have grown closer to Him.  WIthout your donations, much of this would not be possible. [Senior]

Thank you so much for blessing me with the opportunity to experience God this week at Basileia.   As a member of the Fall 2015 E-board [Student leaders] at Fredonia, I took away from all the messages on being more missional.  On the last night, the word was from Matthew 25:45.  God has really been pressing on my heart to love the least of these while at Fredonia, that will look like reaching out to the inclusive education students at Fredonia and in my dorm.  Next semester I will be intentional on reaching three specific girls in my dorm.  Praise God for the heart H has give me for His creation. Proverbs 31:8-9 [Sophomore]

Thank you highlights!

Below are some testimonies from students to the ministry partners who support InterVarsity prayerfully, financially, and with their time. 

Joining InterVarsity has changed my life so much.  I came into InterVarsity broken, with your support I was given the opportunity to worship God with some amazing people that helped fix that brokenness.  Your consistent support has given me the chance to grow stronger in my faith, which is something that I doubt would have taken place if I was back at home.  [Freshman]

Thank you for supporting InterVarsity at Fredonia!  I have learned a lot of new things within this past year being a part of InterVarsity.  One thing I learned was how to hear Jesus speak to me.  With this, I will keep hearing Jesus throughout my life! [Senior]

You honestly don't know how much your constant support means to me.  InterVarsity has helped me become a better person spiritually and mentally.  Honestly, I don't know what I would do without InterVarsity and the fellowship they provide.  My experiences at InterVarsity have been life changing and I hope that the Lord blesses you with all you need because you well deserve it.  I hope in the near future I can become the leader that you want me to be, so that I can help support the next generation with their experiences with InterVarsity.  [Freshman, new small group leader]

InterVarsity has helped me grow spiritually- through intimacy with Jesus, as well as the importance of fellowship.  With this, I will continue to grow in my relationship with Jesus - the most important relationship of all!  Thanks again! [Sophomore]

You have done an amazing thing for InterVarsity.  You have given girls like me hope to get to know the Lord and what he stands for.  InterVarsity has helped me get through a lot of [struggles] during the school year and I know stand here in triumph because my past no longer defines me, and InterVarsity helped me through that.  I am forever thankful that I can continue my journey in InterVarsity for the next 3 years.  Once again, thank you for everything you have done.  [Freshman]

Thank you for your prayers, financial support, and kindness throughout my time at Fredonia.  I just finished spending five days at Saranac Lake for our annual Basileia conference.  Basileia is Greek for "kingdom" and one cannot help to think about the kingdom of God as a place, right?  But at Basileia, we have learned that the kingdom of God is a person, not a place.  We took a look at the parable of the generous landowner, and it brought to mind that God is a generous landowner who supplies and abundant amount of grace to all his children. [Senior]

Your support has helped me a lot.  If it wasn't for your support, there would be no InterVarsity at SUNY Fredonia.  I will always be grateful that I got the chance to grow in my faith through InterVarsity.  As I continue my years at SUNY Fredonia I will always remember the growth that I've experienced in InterVarsity in hopes that the class after me may experience the same thing.  I just wanted to let you know in case no one has told you before you are amazing and all that you do for InterVarsity is well recognized.  Thank you again.  [Freshman]
