My mention of USC's "overflow" reveals a strategic shift in InterVarsity that may interest you. Through consultation with the Covenant denomination, we've learned the strategic sigificance of "missional Christians". Missional Christians are students who have a heart to see God work on their campus. We've recently begun to intentionally seek out and develop these students, and to empower them to spearhead our outreach efforts to those without faith on campus. This shift feels like it brings us back to our organizational roots, which have always been about prioritizing student movements of witness. It's still early, but so far we're seeing some of the healthiest student groups we've ever had, and we're seeing these groups actively engaging students without faith more than ever before.
