InterVarsity in the Cedar Valley of Iowa partners with the college ministries staff of two churches to reach out to their local campuses. One of their joint programs is a weekly large group called BASIC at the University of Northern Iowa.
Over the last few years some small group Bible Studies have begun happening at Wartburg, a private college in Waverly, IA, which is about 20 minutes from UNI. The students in these small groups drive to BASIC when they can and one of the college ministry staff has been going up to Wartburg to coach the student leaders once a month.
Recently, the first BASIC was hosted in Waverly. About thirty Wartburg students came for a free meal and time of worship. Some then stayed to begin praying and brainstorming about what ministry could look like at Wartburg. One student shared that she longed for the ministry at Wartburg to reach out to the diverse groups and communities on campus.
Please pray for the ministry happening at Wartburg and for the staff team as they discern what it might look like to invest more time, energy, and resources in Waverly.
