On campuses across the country, students this fall are excited about how easy and fun it is to do evangelism because they have a great message and they are well-trained, using effective tools developed by experienced InterVarsity staff members.
Transformation is happening in two ways: InterVarsity students are being transformed into more effective witnesses, and students who receive the message of the gospel are also being transformed.
InterVarsity’s twentyonehundred productions recently visited the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse to document a Choices Proxe Station in action. The video explains what a Proxe Station is, and how it’s being used to meet new students on campus at the beginning of the fall semester.

InterVarsity campus staff member Ben Emerson stood outside McNary Hall dormitory on the Oregon State University campus. The text message he read on his Blackberry brought a smile to his face.
A half hour earlier Ben had led a dialogue about Christian values and sexuality in the dorm lounge, an event billed as Sexy Pizza. “It’s a provocative title that’s meant to raise questions,” Ben said.
Ben gave three invitations at the end of the talk. He invited Christians who were present to rededicate their lives to Christ. Non-Christians were invited to consider becoming followers of Christ.
