This paper is an attempt to offer some of the core truths of the Gospel without getting bogged down with too many details. As with all ministry on this side of Heaven, this is a work in progress and as God refines my understanding of Him, some of this paper may be revised. To God be the glory.

David_Suryk 07.15.2002 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/7128 Feel free to edit the squares to reflect your campus/regional culture. The game is designed to be frustrating because it's impossible to fit everything in that we would ideally want. That teaches the skills of prioritization and overlapping (e.g. having dinner while hanging out with freshmen). I'd suggest having groups work independently and away from each other, so that even if a group gets an aha moment and realizes nothing is preventing them from stacking one square on top of another, other groups don't find out immediately. The debriefing is especially important in this game. Timothy_Lin 08.15.2005 http://www.intervarsity.org/mx/item/5893 I'm sure you all are working hard in helping your folks process the shootings.
