A part of summer for many InterVarsity staff is receiving e-mails from excited new students heading to their campus in the fall. While some of these students never end up getting plugged in, International Student Ministry staff, Brenden Graczak, got to see that enthusiasm turn into fruitful ministry this semester.
Sophie is a first year Singaporean social work student at Washington University in St Louis. She had friends connected to International Friends before, so she emailed him over the summer about wanting to get involved. Her first day in the U.S. she jumped into mission with International Friends at their core group retreat. In the past few months, she has sought where God is leading, and connected with a lot of students. She is an expert inviter, is leading their worship team, and consistently challenges the core group to remain mission-focused.
