Redeeming Culture

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Rev. David Kim, Penn ’94, is the director of the Gotham Fellowship, an intensive education program in Manhattan for young professionals started by Redeemer Presbyterian Church. He also serves as executive director of Manna Christian Fellowship (www.princeton.edu/~manna) at Princeton University.  “The influence of New York to the world is a big part of why we’re investing in a small group of fellows every year,” said Kim. Much of the expertise Kim brings into his new position comes from his twelve years of leadership with Manna and its interaction with the Princeton community. “I couldn’t have imagined a better training than being at Princeton,” he said. “We’re all about training tomorrow’s leaders.”

Love in Three Dimensions

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - The University of Pennsylvania is not known for its Christian heritage, yet the campus is full of Biblical symbols in sculpture that inspire those “with eyes to see.” Michael Hu, Penn’s Campus Director for Campus Renewal Ministries and PennforJesus, has developed a prayer walk that he shares with those exploring the campus.  According to Hu, about half of the sculptures have biblical relevance; he explains their significance during the prayer walk. Hu uses the statue of George Whitefield, a preacher of the Great Awakening, to make walkers aware that there were Christian seeds to the university, even if they aren’t widely publicized.
