Four years ago, few of the InterVarsity students at Webster University wanted to attend the Missouri Fall Conference. The ones that ended up going didn’t enjoy it much so the following years it was difficult for InterVarsity staff member, Domenic Mendoza, to convince others to give Fall Conference a try. Last year, though, two brave freshman were willing to go and felt they met God there.
This past weekend, Webster brought twelve students to the conference. When the speaker asked students to stand up to recommit or make an”all in” decision to follow Jesus, two men from the Webster group rose. These two students and three other friends who attended this weekend are on the basketball team and were challenged to reach out to others in their community together. Not only were individual students’ lives impacted, Domenic is excited that for the first time the Webster chapter feels like a part of the greater InterVarsity community.
