Stepping Into Spring

We started this spring semester by getting the word out about IVCF on campus and about the slave trade going on related to chocolate. 70% of the chocolate made is by slaves! We had a petition for students to sign that would encourage food venues on campus to only sell Free Trade chocolate. We had samples of the chocolate for students to taste as well. This gave us an opportunity to talk longer with students about their own faith background, but it also showed students that God cares about the oppressed. And that we as Christians are not going to just stand by and watch, but are on the front end to bringing about change!

As we were tabling a few students walked by saying, "I can't believe it's the Christians that are talking about this stuff!" Pray that IVCF students would continue to step out on campus and fight against the injustices of our world.
