Dear friends,

Each time I post a ministry update I feel very grateful. Thank you for your faithful support - it reminds me daily that I am not alone in the work of reaching students and faculty for Christ. Your partnership helps fuel my passion and devotion to this ministry, and, literally, makes it possible. Again, I am so grateful.

Here is the link to my latest InterVarsity Video Ministry Update - https://youtu.be/dbYrYiSLeoQ

In this video I highlight several items, including:

1) Funding Update - I haven't had as much time this summer to work on securing the needed support for the new year, and it shows! Your continued prayers are really appreciated as the summer winds down and the new academic year ramps up. For those who can help meet this need, please go to intervarsity.org and donate to:
IVCF at SUNY College at Potsdam,
IV at Clarkson University, or
Glen & Beverly IV Staff Account

2) National Catalyze Team - Of the ~700 campuses in the US without a known Christian witness, I have been given a list of 78 campuses throughout the Northeast to explore over the next two years.

3) A Day of Prayer & Discernment as we consider how high school & college ministries and local churches can improve the spiritual experience of high school students as they transition to college.

As I move into my 42nd year of college ministry, I am feeling the need for your prayers more than ever! Again, thank you for standing (or kneeling) with us as we work to catalyze movements that call every corner of every campus to follow Jesus.

Hello friends!

Here is our latest ministry update - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JCQ0zaH10nLN7ULwpjXb8znEw6Erm2ERtAW5a19V7h8/edit?usp=sharing

I included a little more about my new national role on the Catalyze Team. Next month is when I anticipate getting my specific assignment. I'm sure I'll have more to share with you then. I also mention the training to lead missional Small Group Bible studies that I help provide to college and high school students. I am always looking for referrals from you. If you know of anyone who might benefit from this training, it's not too late to add more students to the next round of training!

Finally, I mention our financial need because our ministry partnership team likes to know what our needs are and how specifically to pray. Thank you for joining us in this prayer! As I mention in the update, if you are able to help meet this need, you can follow the link that corresponds to your alma mater:

SUNY Potsdam - https://give.intervarsity.org/?v=BC013124CC013124&g=46891,o

Clarkson University - https://give.intervarsity.org/?v=BC013124CC013124&g=46917,o

Or to our staff account - https://give.intervarsity.org/?v=BC013124CC013124&g=74,o

Thank you again for supporting us in the work of reaching students for Christ!

In the grip of His grace,

Glen

Provide students and faculty the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus Christ on campuses all over the US!

Hello!

Thank you for letting me share this ministry video update with you - https://youtu.be/oOr_cniJj-E

In this month's video I highlight several things, including:

* Basileia highlights
* Go & Do Training for recent High School seniors
* My trip to Wheaton, IL this week, and
* A new national role that I'm super excited to be part of!

With each of these highlights I invite your prayers. As I say in the video - not only couldn't I do this without your partnership, I wouldn't want to!

Speaking of partnership, this is the time of year when I devote a bit more time inviting people to invest in this ministry financially. My summer goal is $7,500 in new support. This can come from new ministry partners or existing partners wanting to increase their giving. I'm thankful for the recent IV alumna who just pledged $100/month. This puts us 16% closer to our summer goal. Please join me in praying for the remaining 84% to be lowered soon.

I'll provide giving links if you are interested in helping. If you graduated from Clarkson or Potsdam, please use the link with your alma mater's name. For everyone else, you may choose either of these links. Both will go to help support the work I'm directly involved with.

Again, thank you for your care and concern for the work God is doing on college and university campuses here in Potsdam, and everywhere. And thank you for your support of Beverly and me and this work He has called us to!

Sincerely in Christ,

Glen

Hello friends!

May means colleges and universities are finishing up another academic year, I leave for camp, and the hummingbirds return to northern New York!

Here is my May video ministry update - https://youtu.be/ImOa94jAUTA. Thanks for taking the time to watch and/or listen to it.

Thanks also for your prayers for:
- my time at Basileia with 10 Potsdam & Clarkson IV leaders and co-directing the Witness Track,
- my new role on the national Catalyze Team as we establish witnessing communities for Christ on campuses with no known ministries, and
- my training of soon-to-be high school graduates to assist them as they make the transition to college.

Thank you for your faithful support of our work with InterVarsity. If you would like to make a financial investment in our ministry please visit https://give.intervarsity.org/?v=AC013124DC013124&g=74,o. Your support is deeply appreciated!
