His previous roles have been at the executive level in healthcare, including Vice President of Marketing and Managing Director of clinical research for LabCorp; and a number of leadership and strategy roles for multiple sectors of SmithKline Beecham (now GlaxoSmithKline) in the U.S. and abroad.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>“Andrew’s 18 years of experience as an executive in sales, marketing, and strategy in the healthcare industry have prepared him well for his new position,” said Alec Hill, President of ñ Christian Fellowship.&nbsp; “We already see the fruits of his skills and passions translating into ñ’s purpose and mission.”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Andrew came to faith in Jesus Christ through ñ’s ministry at Duke University, although it wasn’t until five years after he was out of college. His long walk to faith demonstrates the power of prayer; he became a follower of Jesus Christ as a result of the prayers of his friends who were ñ students and their churches, who continued to pray for him long after they had all graduated.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Today he is an elder at Chapel Hill Bible Church in North Carolina, and he recently chaired a Pastor Search Team. &nbsp;&nbsp;His experience as Church Treasurer and College-age Sunday School Teacher also prepared him for working in his new position with ñ.&nbsp; He has served on a number of non profit boards.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Andrew graduated from Duke University with a B. A. in Political Science and a Genetics Certificate.&nbsp;He and his wife Marnie live in Durham, NC. They will be moving with their three daughters to Madison, WI, the home of ñ’s national office.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ñ’s current Vice President and Director of Advancement, Barney Ford, will continue in his position until the end of June, 2011. &nbsp;After a sabbatical break, Barney will return to ñ in a role yet to be determined.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For more information:<br> Gordon Govier<br> <a href="mailto:ggovier@intervarsity.org">ggovier@intervarsity.org</a><br> 608-443-3688</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewsfield-news-keywords"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field--name-field-news-keywords field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News Keywords</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1024" hreflang="en">Press Release</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:25:29 +0000 AD-16225 1900 at Campus Ministries Sign Agreement /news/campus-ministries-sign-agreement <div class="layout layout--twocol-section layout--twocol-section--33-67"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--first"> <nav role="navigation" aria-labelledby="-menu" class="_none block block-menu navigation menu--about-us-menu"> <h2 class="visually-hidden" id="-menu">About Us Menu</h2> <ul class="clearfix nav" data-component-id="bootstrap_barrio:menu"> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/what-we-believe" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-what-we-believe" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/9386">What We Believe</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/our-purpose" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-our-purpose" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6927">Our Purpose</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/financial-info" title="Financial Info" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-financial-info" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6926">Financial Info</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/2022-2023-annual-report" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-2022-2023-annual-report" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/4976">2022-2023 Annual Report</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/leadership" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-leadership" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6928">Leadership</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/intervarsity-and-ifes-history" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-intervarsity-and-ifes-history" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6925">ñ and IFES History</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/news" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-news" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6929">News</a> </li> <li class="nav-item menu-item--collapsed"> <a href="/about-us/press-room" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-press-room" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6931">Press Room</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/contact" class="nav-link nav-link--contact" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/9383">Contact Us</a> </li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div class="layout__region layout__region--second"> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewsfield-news-type"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/2103" hreflang="en">Press Room</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewstitle"> <div class="content"> <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden"><h1>Campus Ministries Sign Agreement</h1></span> </div> </div> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewsbody"> <div class="content"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>News Release<br> For Immediate Release</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>(Madison WI)—Seventeen Christian ministries that work on U.S. college campuses have established a new standard of cooperation and mutual respect for their work with college students and faculty. Meeting in a Chicago suburb last October, leaders of the ministries agreed to eight basic points of unity in mission aimed at keeping their work on campus cooperative rather than competitive.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The meeting was held at the offices of ñ Press in Westmont, Illinois. The “Chicago Agreement” as it is called, is an update of an earlier agreement forged between leaders of Campus Crusade for Christ, Navigators, Young Life, and ñ, in 1971.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5>Renewing the Basics</h5> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Last year leaders of Campus Crusade, Navigators, and ñ decided to meet in order to update and modify the language of their partnership. They identified 14 other organizations that work on campus and might want to participate in the process.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>“Our hope was that ten or twelve ministries would be represented,” said Jim Lundgren, Senior Vice President and Director of Collegiate Ministries for ñ. “To our surprise, sixteen of the seventeen came for the 24 hour meeting. The one campus director who could not come made a pledge to sign whatever we developed.”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5>Keeping it Simple</h5> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The aim was to put together a clear and simple agreement that did not read like a theological treatise or a legal document. After the eight points were tentatively agreed upon, the ministry leaders took the document back to their respective organizations for review. By early January there was unanimous agreement on all of the eight points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>“I believe that the spirit of partnership and respect that we experienced together is as important as what we produced in the actual agreement,” Lundgren said. “I see the Chicago Agreement as a sign of the work of the Holy Spirit in our movement and in leadership of these other movements.”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Lundgren said that the plan is for the leadership group to meet together every three years, in order to modify the agreement as necessary, and to learn from each other.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For more information:<br> Gordon Govier<br> <a href="mailto:ggovier@intervarsity.org">ggovier@intervarsity.org</a><br> 608-443-3688</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Chicago Agreement is posted online at: <a href="/sites/default/files/Chicago_Agreement2010Final2-16-11.pdf">/sites/default/files/Chicago_Agreement2010Final2-16-11.pdf</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The ministries involved in the agreement, and their representatives:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Asian American Christian Fellowship</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Melanie Mar Chow</li> <li>Evelyn Fan</li> <br> <br> <br> &nbsp;

The annual awards are among the most prestigious of their kind, recognizing outstanding new books “that best shed light on the people, events, and ideas that shape evangelical life, thought, and mission.”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3843"><em>The Passionate Intellect: Christian Faith and the Discipleship of the Mind</em></a> by Alister McGrath received the top honor for Apologetics and Evangelism. McGrath highlights the gospel’s ability to engage with the complexities of the natural world on the one hand and human experience on the other. “Alister McGrath is one of the leading Christian scholars of our day,” said Andy Le Peau,associate publisher and editorial director. “We owe him a great debt for emphasizing that faithful Christian living requires faithful Christian thinking.”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3868"><em>The Historical Jesus: Five Views </em></a>editedby James K.

class="caps">FOR</span> <span class="caps">IMMEDIATE</span> <span class="caps">RELEASE</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>(Madison, WI) – Across the country colleges and universities are beginning a new school year. Leaders of ñ Christian Fellowship anticipate another exciting year of growth in campus ministry despite some uncertainty created by a recent Supreme Court decision.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Taking note of five years of steadily increasing numbers of on-campus conversions, and the largest-ever class of new staff trained in June, ñ president Alec Hill said, “This is a good season for ñ right now, the climate for campus ministry has never been better.”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>Best ever</strong></h5> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In the past five years ñ staff members have seen an increase of 68 percent in the number of students we work with becoming followers of Jesus Christ. The number of non-Christians involved in chapter activities has increased by 44 percent. Despite the fact that field staff must raise their financial support in the worst economy of the past half-century, a record number of 134 new staff attended ñ’s Orientation of New Staff conference in June.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As part of its focus campaign to reach new campuses, ñ has planted 69 new chapters over the past four years. More than 2,160 students and faculty are active in those new chapters<strong>. </strong>This fall an additional 17 new chapters are being planted at campuses across the country, from Iowa Central Community College to the University of Connecticut.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>Unresolved questions</strong></h5> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Questions about campus ministry were raised by the June ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of <em>Christian Legal Society v. Martinez</em>, in which the justices decided in a 5-4 decision that the University of California Hastings College of Law could deny official recognition to the Christian Legal Society (<span class="caps">CLS</span>) as a campus organization. The denial was based on <span class="caps">CLS</span>’s requirement that members of the organization affirm a statement of faith and on Hastings’ “all comers” anti-discrimination policy which states that all student organizations must accept all students who apply for membership.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ñ does not have a strict membership policy, but we do require our leaders to affirm our Doctrinal Statement. However Hastings’ “all comers” policy seems to be unique among colleges. So the impact of the <em><span class="caps">CLS</span> v. Martinez</em> decision on ñ’s campus ministry is still unclear. It is our hope that we will be able to continue to operate as freely as any other campus organization.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ñ is an interdenominational ministry working with 35,000 core students and faculty in 850 chapters on U.S. college and university campuses. “Core” is defined as 50 percent participation or more. Founded in 1941, ñ is a member of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students, advancing Christian student work in 150 countries.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For more information contact:<br> Gordon Govier<br> Media Relations<br> 608-443-3688<br> <a href="mailto:ggovier@intervarsity.org">ggovier@intervarsity.org</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewsfield-news-keywords"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field--name-field-news-keywords field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News Keywords</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1024" hreflang="en">Press Release</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:55:11 +0000 AD-16225 1896 at Court Limits Campus Ministry /news/supreme-court-decision-on-campus-ministry <div class="layout layout--twocol-section layout--twocol-section--33-67"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--first"> <nav role="navigation" aria-labelledby="-menu" class="_none block block-menu navigation menu--about-us-menu"> <h2 class="visually-hidden" id="-menu">About Us Menu</h2> <ul class="clearfix nav" data-component-id="bootstrap_barrio:menu"> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/what-we-believe" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-what-we-believe" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/9386">What We Believe</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/our-purpose" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-our-purpose" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6927">Our Purpose</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/financial-info" title="Financial Info" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-financial-info" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6926">Financial Info</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/2022-2023-annual-report" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-2022-2023-annual-report" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/4976">2022-2023 Annual Report</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/leadership" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-leadership" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6928">Leadership</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/intervarsity-and-ifes-history" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-intervarsity-and-ifes-history" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6925">ñ and IFES History</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/about-us/news" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-news" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6929">News</a> </li> <li class="nav-item menu-item--collapsed"> <a href="/about-us/press-room" class="nav-link nav-link--about-us-press-room" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/6931">Press Room</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a href="/contact" class="nav-link nav-link--contact" data-drupal-link-system-path="node/9383">Contact Us</a> </li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div class="layout__region layout__region--second"> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewsfield-news-type"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/2103" hreflang="en">Press Room</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewstitle"> <div class="content"> <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden"><h1>Court Limits Campus Ministry</h1></span> </div> </div> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewsbody"> <div class="content"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>For Immediate Release</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>(Madison, WI) — ñ Christian Fellowship will likely be impacted by the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in the case of <em>Christian Legal Society v. Martinez.</em> The ruling allows Hastings School of Law in San Francisco, a public institution, to refuse recognition to a campus Christian group which excludes from membership students who refuse to sign a statement of faith and adhere to the tenet that sexual activity should not occur outside of marriage between a man and a woman. Hastings policy states that all campus organizations must be open to all students at all levels.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>"Today's decision is disappointing and will likely change the way we operate on some campuses," said ñ president Alec Hill. "However, whether our chapters are recognized as official student groups or not, we are confident that God will continue to be at work transforming the lives of students and faculty across the country. We plan to continue to minister at both public and private schools. As we have for the past seven decades, we will be responsible campus citizens and pursue Truth prayerfully. We will do so with civility, humility and biblical integrity."</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Although ñ and the Christian Legal Society (<span class="caps">CLS</span>) work closely together on a number of law schools, ñ's structure differs from that of <span class="caps">CLS</span>. ñ chapters do not have members and invite broad participation of students and faculty with diverse views and values. However, chapter leaders are required to assent to our Doctrinal Basis, a position we have defended on a number of campuses.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ñ is an interdenominational ministry

The study-abroad statistics from the <a href="http://opendoors.iienetwork.org/?p=150651">Institute of International Education</a> indicate a growing desire for a global perspective. More than 262,000 Americans studied abroad in 2007-2008, an increase of 8.5-percent from the previous year and four times the number of just two decades ago. Changing the world is what Urbana 09 is all about.</p> <p><strong>Urbana’s Global Perspective</strong><br> The growing number of students with global experience who will attend ñ’s Urbana 09 Student Missions Conference is reminiscent of the returning veterans who attended ñ’s first Student Missions Conference in 1946. They had acquired a global perspective as they traveled across the globe during World War II and were preparing to return overseas, taking the gospel message with them.</p> <p>In the years since 1946, as student populations have changed in many ways, ñ’s triennial Student Missions Conference has maintained its global perspective. In 1948 the conference relocated to the campus of the University of Illinois, where it came to be called Urbana. Then in 2006 it moved to St. Louis, Missouri, for Urbana 06. Urbana 09 will also be held in St. Louis, December 27-31, 2009 at the Edward Jones Dome and The Americas Center.</p> <p><strong>Not Just Another Conference</strong><br> Since that first conference 63 years ago, more than 240,000 Urbana attendees have been challenged to consider God’s call to global missions. Urbana has become one of the longest-lived, regularly scheduled events within evangelical Christianity, and its impact on each generation of college students is widely known and well respected. Pastor Rick Warren, the author of the best-selling book <em>The Purpose Driven Life</em> and a speaker at Urbana 06, said, “You can’t afford to miss Urbana. If you are serious about not wasting your life, do whatever it takes to get there.”</p> <p>Urbana is focused on mobilizing men and women for global missions, but the conference’s influence is broader. Author and theologian John Stott, who spoke at six Urbanas, said, “In my travels I have met many missionaries and other Christian workers whose lives were profoundly changed by the Urbana experience.”</p> <p><strong>Urbana’s Ripple Effect</strong><br> In a growing number of countries the Urbana conference has been a stimulus for Christian student groups to sponsor their own student missions conferences in locations as far-flung as Nigeria, India and Ukraine. “These events represent a growing missionary vision across the world,” said Lindsay Brown, former General Secretary of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students. “There’s no doubt in my mind that Urbana has contributed to this vision.” About two dozen international guests will be on hand at Urbana 09 to gain an insider’s perspective on hosting their own student missions conference.</p> <p>The best way to experience Urbana is by attending the multitude of seminars, and by developing new contacts and new friendships. But today the explosion of electronic media and the internet means that the message of Urbana 09 will be shared in many new ways.</p> <p><strong>Urbana and Social Media</strong><br> Videos of the general sessions will be posted online at www.urbana09.org within hours after each session. Audio files from general sessions and news conferences will also be made available, as well as news releases. But unofficial, participant-produced reports from Urbana will also be populating online social media, on sites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Flickr. Urbana 09 will be the first Urbana conference that can be <a href="http://listorious.com/simusa/going-to-urbana-09">followed on Twitter</a> (use the hash tag #urbana09).</p> <p>“At a time when students are thinking globally and are open to what it is that God may be saying to them, we’re showing them what God is doing in the world, and then inviting them to be a part of that,” said Jim Tebbe, the director of Urbana .</p> <p>ñ Christian Fellowship is an interdenominational ministry to university students in the United States, with over 32,000 students involved on 550 campuses nationwide. ñ is a founding member of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students, which is advancing Christian student work in 150 countries.</p> <p>For more information contact:<br> <a href="/chapters/contact.php?id=2503">Christy Chappell</a><br> Urbana Communications Director<br> 608/443-3671</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewsfield-news-keywords"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field--name-field-news-keywords field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News Keywords</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1024" hreflang="en">Press Release</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1189" hreflang="en">Urbana</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 15 Dec 2009 06:00:00 +0000 webteam@intervarsity.org 7668 at
