David_Suryk 07.15.2002 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/5811 This paper will address the two main types of Asian American ministry that we have in InterVarsity: ethnic specific and multiethnic. (Within the category of ethnic specific fellowships, they are Pan Asian American, Korean American or Chinese American). We will talk about the Scriptural basis for these fellowships, presenting two views as well as to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the two types of ministries. This paper is intended for Asian American staff and students. Though it may relate to other situations as well, it is not intended to address issues of all ethnic specific ministries. Before we start, we want to start by introducing ourselves a bit and sharing some about our background, and why we are writing this paper. collin_tomikawa 03.13.2001 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/4176 Comparison of Qualifications for Eldership to contemporary leadership competencies matt kutz 09.18.2005 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/3871 A teambuilding exercise for mission teams, new leadership teams, or other ministry or task teams.

David_Suryk 06.27.2007 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/5310 In this talk I investigate whether it's rational or reasonable to believe the Christian message. Do we need evidence to believe? If not, why not? But if so, what counts as evidence? Who decides? On what basis? I want to address the subject of whether bright, thoughtful people—such as people who teach and study in the universities of the world—people who do not yet believe the Christian message—people such as these, do they have good reason to believe? Hopefully this talk will help Christians better understand these issues as well. For thoughtful Christians, of course, the issue is should they believe what they have believed? This is a little piece of religious epistemology and apologetics.
