God can use a few conversations to change the course of a semester and beyond.
At Urbana 18, Susan, an InterVarsity student from the U.S., talked with our Study Abroad and InterVarsity Link teams about her upcoming semester abroad in Latin America.
She received our guide to prepare her for the semester, signed up for a digital small group, got Bible study training, and connected with the leaders of the IFES movement where she was going who invited her to their week long student camp.
When our staff followed up with her after Urbana, she shared about going to the local student camp where she met lots of excited Christian students who are now her friends back in the city where she is studying. She also started a Bible study on Hebrews at her school where there is not an IFES student group, yet, and is being discipled by a local staff.
Praise God for his divine timing and invitation for Susan to partner with Him in mission. Please pray that she would thrive spiritually and that a group would be established at her university in Latin America and in the U.S. as she goes back at the end of the semester.
