Recently, InterVarsity Saint Louis had the opportunity to partner with college students representing the Southern Baptist Convention at an event called For St. Louis. For several days leading up to the convention, SBC college students worked on various mission projects throughout the city. During the convention, IV staff leader Kale Uzzle, and several other local staff got the opportunity to focus these students’ missional sights back on the college campus. Teams of students set off for three local campuses: Maryville University, Fontbonne University, and St. Louis Community College-Meramec. Kale gave them a quick training on “scouting” the campus (a term we borrow from Numbers 13). These forty college students then interacted with dozens of students and administrators on each campus and spent a few hours interceding for the work of the Gospel there. Afterwards, IV staff Ashley Carter and Domenic Mendoza, debriefed the experience with them and gathered contact cards of interested students they met. They are now in the process of following up with these contacts, some of whom may just help us start a brand new InterVarsity chapter in the fall.
