I totally agree, people are definitely talking, and I'm so encouraged. Even people in my dorm are talking about EngageNU and what it is. Some of them whom I invited came to the Celebration picnic. It's really great.

Speaking of the picnic, I was at work last night, on Saturday, and I was wearing my EngageNU t-shirt. A guy waiting in line saw it and asked, "Were you at the picnic today?" I said, "Yeah!" He said, "It was really great and really well done."

Another person on the same day, who was waiting to get her change, asked me, "What is this EngageNU thing? I've been seeing signs for it all through campus." I explained to her what it was, that it was sponsored by the Christian Intervarsity on campus and that we were having discussions about different pertinent issues on campus, like race, ambition, and science . . . At first she looked dubious and embarassed when I told her that it was being sponsored by a Christian fellowship on campus. Then, as I talked about how we were discussing issues like race, ambition and what not, this look of interest sparked in her eyes and unbelief. She said, "Thanks." She may have walked away with a different view of Christians that day. I'm praying for her. She looked genuinely baffled like that did not at all fit her view of Christianity.
