"Our world is messed up. Racism. Sexism. Abuse of the environment. The list goes on. If Jesus is the answer, how can Christians make more of a difference?
Jesus’ presence started a revolution in our broken world. Now is the time to connect the dots … His presence, Our faith, the World’s mess. You’ll leave this week challenged to reconsider how your personal life and community can transform your campus … and then the world."
Spring, 2009
Welcome to the reDefine Reality Track!!
We are delighted that you have signed up to join us in this brand new track. This foundational track is designed as an on ramp for us all to fully grasp the revolution Jesus’ presence brought into our world. He redefined our reality. Many times our faith remains detached from the brokenness in our world. Now is the time to connect our faith with issues of race, gender, sexuality, and caring for the environment. We’ve designed this track as a place to experience God through His Word and in prayer. And we’ve designed it to be a practical track – where we take a hard look at how we, as individuals, and how we, as communities on our campuses, can make a difference. Our hope is that you will leave the track with a change in heart and character that leads to personal and community transformation back on campus.
Please look over and complete the Pre-Course Questions before you come (it won’t take long, but it does ask you bring a couple of things with you, which will be referred to during the track times).
Please review the “What you should bring…” section in the Cedar Campus/Timber Wolf Lake Student Information sheet. Remember that it will be cooler and darker at Cedar (and Timber Wolf Lake) than at home, so make sure to bring a flashlight and layered clothing. All of your needs are covered in the registration fees. However, you may want to consider bringing along
additional money for linen rental (at Cedar - if needed), saunas (at Cedar), books, or clothes. Keep in mind we will take an offering for our brothers and sisters in the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students.
Please join us in praying that God will meet us powerfully throughout our week. If you have questions about the track please feel free to send me an email.
Warmly in Christ,
Robert Burdett
