<p>A few weeks ago, Kansas University won the NCAA basketball championship, giving my Central Region a tremendous source of celebration.  Go Jayhawks!  It certainly has also been March (and April) Madness in InterVarsity’s ministry here, as we’ve seen God do some utterly amazing things on our campuses.  One verse I’ve been reflecting on is Habakkuk 1:5: “<em>Look at the nations and watch – and BE UTTERLY AMAZED.  For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told</em>&#8230;” <a href="http://www.tomandnancylin.com/2008/05/02/utterly-amazing-april/#more-186" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.ivcatalyst.com/" target="_blank">1.  Catalyst Leadership Conference</a> </strong>(May 19-23).  Please pray for this annual week-long conference focused on equipping student leaders across the Central U.S..  <em>Pray for students to develop a strategic vision for being change agents on their campuses and in their campus fellowships.  Also </em><em>pray for student registration this month, </em><em>as students are struggling </em><em>with date conflicts and paying the conference fees.</em> <a href="http://www.tomandnancylin.com/2008/04/22/april-may-prayer-items/#more-184" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p>BIG NEWS: Nancy shared the Easter story with Abby, and Abby responded by praying that Jesus would come into her heart.  We’re not sure exactly how she’s understanding the gospel, but needless to say, we&#8217;re encouraged!  After praying, she then became an evangelist, saying &#8220;<em>Now let’s pray that Olivia will become part of God’s family!</em>”</p>
<p>In other family news, we just returned from a wonderful 11-day trip to the Bay Area (work &amp; play).  Check out our <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomandnancylin" target="_blank">photos</a>.  Finally, Olivia&#8217;s physical development continues to entertain us, as she recently discovered how to walk backwards, as you can see on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJkAzRC2NcM" target="_blank">Youtube</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month, one recurring theme was InterVarsity’s evangelistic calling on university campuses. After spending several days with Regional Directors across the country and then several days with our Regional New Staff Training cohort, I was struck by the evangelistic opportunities and challenges in our postmodern, post-Christian cultural context. We also recognized the need to better <strong><em>understand</em></strong> this student generation. Check out the 4-minute video clip (my previous post below) made by Kansas State students entitled &#8220;<em>A Vision for Students</em>&#8220;. <a href="http://www.tomandnancylin.com/2008/03/21/our-evangelistic-calling-to-students/#more-178" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>
