Love for the lost, compassion for the brokenhearted, devotion to prayer, and passion for teaching God’s word have become the defining traits of Amy’s ministry and the joys of her life."⠀ ⠀ 🙌 Amy's journey in life has been intertwined with @ontariopioneercamp for 70 years.

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
Time for a fresh calendar! While the kick-off of 2 Time for a fresh calendar! While the kick-off of 2021 is just a number on a page, let it be a reminder of the complete-overhaul, abounding-mercy fresh start that Jesus offers those who choose to trust in him.⠀ ⠀ Throughout the InterVarsity family we look forward to a year of vibrant, creative campus ministry and fun, life-changing experiences for campers at lakes and barns across the country. ⠀ ⠀ While we get excited about the things that 2021 will hold, it's an incredible relief that our deepest hope is in Jesus. No matter what comes, God is good and reigns above it all.⠀ ⠀ #summercamp #newbeginnings #newyearsresolution #newyears #baptism #newlife #jesus #salvation #pioneerpacific #ocean #happynewyear #freshstart #2021 #goodbye2020 #faith #joy

Today we bring an #internTuesday feature from the Today we bring an #internTuesday feature from the Rocky mountains. Meet Euan, coming in from @AlbertaPioneerCamps.⠀ ⠀ As a camper at Pioneer, Euan has fond memories of swimming in glacier-fed streams and being on top of mountains while on out-trips. He became a camp counselor and learned to cherish the relationships he made with friends and the closeness he felt with God in the depths of serving. ⠀ ⠀ Euan’s friends can count on him to be there to help out with a smile on, no matter what’s going down. When not helping out you can find Euan playing rugby, cross-country skiing or cooking up some pancakes in the kitchen.⠀ ⠀ Euan has a servant heart and a peaceful spirit. He is always willing and happy to help.⠀ ⠀ #interntuesday #intervarsitycanada #albertapioneercamp #pioneercamp #rockymountains #gapyear #christiangapyear #cabins #discipleship #summercamp #mentorship #community #communitylife #smile #albertalife #rockymountainlife #serve #explore

Yep, it’s #interntuesday and you can be stoked t Yep, it’s #interntuesday and you can be stoked to meet another camp folk.⠀ ⠀ Introducing Sidney Morton. 🏙️🏚️ Sidney has lived in several cities spanning North America in her short life, but this semester she is calling @circlesquareranchbcl home. 🐇⠀ ⠀ While riding horses 🐴 at the barn may be her happy place, she enjoys anything spontaneous, from a good hug to a midnight jog 🤸. She is fierce and fun. ⠀ ⠀ Sidney joined the barn staff team in 2019 and despite only working a few weeks, her camp memories are sweet. She joined the LEAD internship because it’s the best to belong to a friendly, intentional community that puts God first. ⠀ ⠀ One of her best camp memories is worshipping during a campfire the last week of August. She could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and was struck by the beauty of all her friends kneeling and worshipping Jesus. She describes knowing God’s presence in that moment like feeling total peace and being surrounded by love. ❤️⠀ ⠀ #interntuesday #intervarsitycanada #circlesquareranch #bigclearlake #infrontenac #landolakes #gapyear #christiangapyear #discipleship #summercamp #horses #bunnies #mentorship #community #communitylife #barnstaff #horsebackriding #explore

For this exciting #interntuesday, we head out West For this exciting #interntuesday, we head out West to InterVarsity Pioneer Camp Alberta!⠀ ⠀ 🏔️ Meet Timothy Larsen, a LEAD intern embracing his natural habitat in the great expanses of @albertapioneercamps. ⠀ ⠀ When Tim’s fall plans fell through and he found out about the opportunity to work and grow at Pioneer, he was confident it was God’s leading. With a history at summer camp, he loves the opportunity to go deep with people in such a magnificent natural setting. ⠀ ⠀ 🔨 He has been digging in and lending a hand to building projects around camp this season - finishing building cabins, fixing fences and roofs. ⠀ ⠀ Outgoing and adventurous, Tim loves to go scrambling up the Rocky Mountains 🏞️ or ride a horse 🐎 off the beaten trails to find secluded areas of the forest. He has been enjoying playing tactical board games lately too. ⠀ ⠀ #interntuesday #intervarsitycanada #albertapioneercamp #pioneercamp #rockymountains #gapyear #christiangapyear #cabins #discipleship #summercamp #fixingfences #mentorship #community #communitylife #boardgames #albertalife #rockymountainlife #horsebackriding #explore

Frank Liao, 4th year SFU business student, writes Frank Liao, 4th year SFU business student, writes about slowing down: ⠀ ⠀ "...When I first heard about Sabbath as a discipline, I was really confused. I had never heard about the concept while growing up in church, and it didn’t fall in line with my lifestyle at all. What was the point of taking a break and slowing down for a whole day when we’re always being told to be productive? This especially applied to me as a business student, with everyone constantly looking for ways to get ahead in their own career path. However, it was becoming painfully obvious to a few close friends and mentors that I was not living a healthy lifestyle with my constant “go, go, go” mentality. So they suggested that I should try it out and see if it helped."⠀ ⠀ To read the rest copy paste https://ivcf.ca/slow-down/⠀ ⠀ #sabbath #slowdown #rest #10commandments #faith #blog #businessstudent #sfu #livelikejesus #wisdom #studentlife #studentministry #studentsforjesus #bestill #jesusoncampus
"...It is such a joy to live dependent on God's pr "...It is such a joy to live dependent on God's provision because his gifts are a tangible expression of his care for us. His intervention in our struggles reminds us that our Father knows what we need, approves of us and delights in our imperfect efforts. His unlikely solutions reveal to us that God isn’t easily confined by our expectations. His generosity is a gesture of how He entrusts us to lead and love alongside Jesus..."⠀ ⠀ Read more about God's provision from a camp staff! Visit ivcf.ca (link on homepage)
