Dinners Enable Evangelism at Brown
Posted April 15, 2009

PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND - Brown’s Athletes in Action (http://www.aiaatbrown.com/) ministry is hosting a series of Monday Night Dinner Discussions to encourage student-athletes in the area of evangelism and expose non-Christians to the gospel. The discussions, sponsored by Christian Union, have been such a success that students sometimes take the initiative to host the meeting when ministry leaders are unable to attend. One such meeting happened at Judson House and included a discussion on the validity of Scripture. “This was especially memorable because it demonstrated initiative from students as well as confirmation that these dinner discussions are helpful and fruitful,” said ministry director Jarrod Lynn, Brown ’07.

Go Green, Honor God

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Catherine Billon, Brown ’85 and Columbia MBA ’89, recently launched an internet-based media company called RiverWired to provide tools, information, and resources for the eco-friendly and eco-novice alike. “Our mission at RiverWired is to help inspire folks to live a little greener in practical, achievable, and local ways,” said Billon, who left the corporate arena after experience with major media companies to “do something entrepreneurial that would positively impact the world.” As Billon works to educate others about sustaining the viability of the planet, she relies upon her own faith in Jesus Christ to sustain her personally and professionally. “Stewardship of the earth goes beyond economic need or national trend,” says Billon. “It’s also a Christian principle.”
