Over the years the fellowship has generally had a hard time getting transfer students plugged in, on average we might have 1-3 new transfers get involved each year. This year, God has blessed us with an unprecedented amount of transfer students, there are at least 12 actively involved this semester! After meeting all these transfers, I've happily made it a priority to help keep them involved. Recently, I hosted a dinner for Transfer Students (pictured). We enjoyed a time of food, getting to know each other and talking about what it's like to be a transfer student at SSU and in InterVarsity.
One of the transfers, "Tom," started the semester as an atheist who regarded gravity as his ultimate truth. As he has gotten involved he has taken steps of faith towards God, and no longer identifies as an atheist. He has said that he can see God present in the community and that he was committed to further exploring Jesus and wrestling through his questions. Please be praying for him!
