			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new era begins for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship on the campus of St. Cloud State University! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our strategy:</p>
<p><strong>1) A Commitment to Prayer</strong></p>
<p>Emphasis on prayer &#8211; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">always &amp; in everything</span>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2) The Presence of the Holy Spirit</strong></p>
<p>In staff, in the chapter leadership and in the chapter itself.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>3) A Focus on God&#8217;s Word &#8211; Effective Small Group Bible Studies</strong></p>
<p>Serious &amp; DEEP study of God&#8217;s word.  We&#8217;ll focus on three questions:  What does it say? What does it mean?  How does it apply?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>4) Living out our beliefs &#8211; Bringing Jesus&#8217; Words to Life!</strong></p>
<p>This is a big one!  We&#8217;ll focus on actually doing the things that Jesus talked about.  It&#8217;s not enough to just believe it, think it, study it&#8230;we want to actually do it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>5) A clear vision of what could be, what should &amp; what WILL be &#8211; with God&#8217;s help.</strong></p>
<p>Our vision on campus:  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">every</span> student transformed.  <strong>EVERY ONE</strong>.  All 16,000 plus.  We&#8217;re out to create a <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">MOVEMENT</span></em>.  If we ask God for this entire campus, what do you think He&#8217;s gonna say?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>6) Students leaders who are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">trained</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">equipped</span> &amp; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">empowered</span>.</strong></p>
<p>A cornerstone element of our ministry!  Our goal is student input, student buy-in, student commitment, student follow-through &amp; student impact.  We achieve these things by training, equipping &amp; empowering students to do THIER MINISTRY. </p>
<p>InterVarsity is a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">student owned and led ministry</span>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>7) Effective Large Groups</strong></p>
<p>This means GREAT music &amp; worship, relevant teaching, fun &amp; &#8220;edgy&#8221; meetings, highly professional meetings and finally, emphasizing fellowship &amp; continuous outreach.</p>
