Ambition and The Cross (A+)

7:00pm, I walk in from just having finished set up with Justice, Amy Chen (AAIV'09) is bustling around with a huge stack of chairs, Charlie Guo (AAIV'07) and Paul Park (AAIV'08) are rehearsing the program schedule, whilst Carlyn (AAIV'07) tries frantically to find the stolen food and Brian (MEIV'08) prepares G43. Kellogg G43.

Moments later Julie French (MEIV'07) and Amy Zhu (MEIV'10) appear as well, and I'm thinking what the heck can I do? I guess I can pray. Pray that people will come to the event. There are fliers that are clearly marking the way. They made sure of that. Natalene (AAIV'08) arrives. The Panel Speakers start arriving, as do Wei and Caroline (MEIV'08), lugging the Ambition board.


Everything seems to be running smoothly, except the stolen food. WHO steals muffins, cookies and veggie platters? I haven't a clue. But with a few minutes before the start of the event we, Caroline, Wei and I, jump into Wei's car and we ZOOM off to the fastest shopping spree ever.

When we returned, the room was PACKED with people. Praise God! There were at least 40 seats in the classroom, and 10 more lined up at the back of the room--and there were still people standing along the sides. As I walked in I prayed that God would work in the hearts of those that were there--when I realized that alot of the people there were Intervarsity students. Then I started to listen to what the panelists were saying, and I was happy that so many of us showed up--this was good stuff. To tithe. To take sabbaths. To define for yourself success.

Many stayed after to ask the good doctor, the awesome lawyer and business man what their takes on certain personal issues were.

Thanks Ambition people for all the hard work, especially thanks to Carlyn and Brian for all the countless hours they've put into this event for the past few weeks, getting the program together, and their team, from the boards to the videos.


God, the rest is up to you. Our work in the Ambition event is done.
