Christians are Active!
To all who thought that being a Christian meant just going to church and living right with God on your own- think again! Some brothers and sisters at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois are trying to change just that mindset- that Christians are active! A dear friend, Barnabas Lin pseudo-Singaporean and onetime fellow GBC youth is part of the leadership that leads this movement organized by Northwestern's MEIV (Muti-Ethnic Intervarsity Fellowship). The blog for the event, is Engage NU: What the hell, God?
In addition, they've also been featured on the their campus newspaper, the Daily Northwestern HERE. The title of the article is: "Evangelicals Push For Social Change". Read more!

This is a letter from Barnabas, asking for prayer:
Dear beloved family across the world, and dearest Singapore friends,
As some of you know I've been the Outreach Coordinator of my
fellowship this year, and we've been planning towards this HUGE week
of engaging our campus called "Engage NU: What the Hell, God?!" I've
gotten together with the Asian American Intervarsity Chapter, Greek
Intervarsity Chapter and House on The Rock (Black Chapter) and we
have been planning since February for this. AND THIS IS THE WEEK. It
has been a crazy week, but God has been so good! We've been taking
our campus by storm, and this morning, our president appeared on the
front page of the school's Daily Northwestern Newspaper. There is
much warfare going on, and I implore you to pray. For those of you
that I still need to return calls to, I will do so very soon tonight,
I have just been running around for the past 3 days making sure our
stations don't fall apart (we have stations that rotate through all
the major hotspots on campus, engaging people on the 5 issues of
Race, Justice, Sex, Ambition and Science) and our first two big
outreach events are happening tonight.
There's so much going on, I have set up a blog, that has already
(since its launching yesterday morning) already hit 250 or so web
views with people from all over the nation (our staff have been
sending out the link to a lot of Northwestern IV alumni. Oh by the
way, I am a part of the Multiethnic Intervarsity Chapter at
Northwestern, just in case you didn't know).
Please keep me and the whole campus in prayer, you can access our
blog here: http://engagenu.blogspot.com
