People around us at school and in the workplace ar People around us at school and in the workplace are longing for connection, community, and deep down, for a relationship with God. ⠀ ⠀ In a recent blog, Monica Lai shares her longing to initiate authentic friendships and for her friends to experience the transformative and liberating work of God in their lives, just like she has experienced in her own. ⠀ ⠀ Monica explains that she realized genuine connection and relationships are desperately needed in our culture which values independence over interdependence, and self-sufficiency over humility and reliance. ⠀ ⠀ This is a powerful reminder for us all to keep our eyes and hearts open to how God can bless people through our connections with them. Who can journey with this week?⠀ ⠀ #friendship #connection #notalone #community #Jesus #studentministry #church #tenthchurch #gospel #christiancommunity #everyonewelcome #ubc #intervarsitycanada #workplaceministry #campusministry #oncampus

Today’s #interntuesday from Winnipeg is known fo Today’s #interntuesday from Winnipeg is known for being thoughtful, kind and getting very excited about any prospect of drinking bubble tea. Meet Hannah Guerrero. ⠀ ⠀ She recently graduated from Community Development, Public Affairs and Policy Studies at Dawson College and Concordia University. As she reflects on her university years, she is in awe at God’s faithfulness - how God spoke to her through studying the book of Mark in first year, taught her to trust him, to love others and to lead.⠀ ⠀ In her final year, Hannah was touched while at a retreat as she heard stories from campus ministers about how God called them to give their lives to share the gospel with students. She felt God changing her heart from the inside-out and saw breakthrough in several areas of her life. So when she felt God call her to trust him and apply to the campus internship (on the day applications were due), she was excited to say “YES”!⠀ ⠀ An outdoors enthusiast, Hannah is always down for a hike, a bubble tea or playing the guitar.⠀ ⠀ You can support her ministry at ivcf.ca/donate.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #interntuesday #intervarsitycanada #winnipeg #studentministry #jesusoncampus #studentrevival #jesus #university #universityministry #studentsforjesus #campusfellowship #Concordia #dawsoncollege #yesjesus #bubbletea #God #bibestudy #trustgod
