Advent is a time for reflection and joy. During this season that formally begins the Christian year, we give thanks that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. In this spirit, I want to express my gratefulness for God’s goodness to the InterVarsity community over so many years.

Pete Hammond was a unique human being. Friend. Mentor. Entrepreneur. Author. Rascal. Anyone who ever heard his laugh will never forget it. And Pete laughed a lot.
I first met Pete in the fall of 2000 when he and I were speakers at a Business as Mission conference in Seattle. After he sat through my ethics seminar, I listened to him exposit Hebrews 11. How could anyone, I wondered, find so much humor in that text? Afterwards, we had coffee and a friendship was born.
That’s how Pete operated.

Pete Hammond exemplified InterVarsity’s commitment to campus ministry in creative and unique ways. We are grieved at his passing but thankful that his ministry touched and enriched so many lives. Pete Hammond died last week at his home, at the age of 72.
Pete joined InterVarsity staff as an area director in 1966, working in the southeastern U.S., and he was one of InterVarsity’s early advocates for multiethnic ministry. He also became the director of Evangelism and served as vice president at large.
Ministry in Daily Life
His life touched almost every aspect of InterVarsity.

Attending freshman orientation at Texas Tech, in Lubbock, Texas, Helen Troutman made a beeline for the InterVarsity table. She listened politely but impatiently as the student at the table pitched her on all of the distinctives of the fellowship. Finally she thrust her contact information at him and said, “Don’t forget about me.”
“I was probably the easiest recruit they’d ever had,” she said.

Four generations of the Troutman family have served and guided InterVarsity.
Operating a rock quarry may not have been the ideal preparation for the job of legal counsel to InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. But Ralph Thomas says his various life experiences, particularly those working as a small town lawyer, have come in handy preparing him for the job he’s held for the last 15 years.
Ralph’s career path has taken some unexpected turns, but concluding his career path in a job with a ministry has been unexpectedly fulfilling.
Ralph graduated in 1954 from Penn State University with a degree in chemical engineering.
