Veritas Forum Provides Dialogue and Answers NEW YORK, NEW YORK - In February, a diverse gathering of people, ranging from professors to musicians, participated in Columbia University’s Veritas Forum (http://www.veritas.org/), an opportunity for the campus community to explore life's hardest questions through the person and story of Jesus Christ and to engage in meaningful and fruitful dialogue. In its fifth year, the forum featured three nights of events, including thought-provoking discussions, a screening of the documentary Call+Response, and a sold-out concert. The forum opened with a discussion by Dr. Shelly Kagan, Princeton *82, and Dr. William Lane Craig in an event titled “Is God Necessary for Morality?”

40 Days of Prayer Event at Columbia NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Individuals and campus fellowships throughout New York City, including at Columbia, prayed around the clock from August 3rd to September 11th, with students signing up for hourly slots during the forty days. It was the first time that the students of New York came together to pray corporately as one body. Jeremy Story, president of Campus Renewal Ministries, shared about the ways in which he saw God moving throughout the 40 Days of Prayer. “I’ve seen a lot of things coming together,” he said. “We believe that the Lord can and will bring revival if we will seek Him.” _________________________________________
Spring Service Break in New Orleans By Jin Wang, Columbia ‘10 NEW YORK, NEW YORK - During Columbia University’s spring break, twenty students from three campus ministries traveled to New Orleans to participate in post-Katrina relief and recovery efforts. Two groups of students worked in the Lower Ninth Ward, the most devastated area of New Orleans. Another worked on gutting, roofing, and rebuilding homes in a project organized by Campus Crusade for Christ. “The work left still seems insurmountable,” voiced first-year student Ki Hoon Kim. “The people down there really need the love and grace of Christ.” Kim and others were very grateful for the experience. “I'm glad God used me,” said Kim, “and in the future, I would not hesitate to return.” |
