When you hear God say something, you respond, right?
As a junior in college I had a sense that God was inviting me to move into an neighborhood one mile from my campus that operated under a completely different reality than where my school sat or where I grew up.
As an InterVarsity student I heard about the stark economic disparities in St Louis, how God was making all things new, and our invitation to join him in this work. My early yes to relocate began a journey for me that continues to this day to open my eyes to new realities and to pray and work for God’s kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven.
In June I went to this place, gave thanks to God, and laid stones of remembrance.
Hundreds of InterVarsity students are coming back from Urban and Global projects this month and seeking to take first steps to apply what they learned as they go back to campus. Please pray for them to say yes to Jesus’ invitations.
