See The Gospel Transform Harvard
There’s no question that Harvard is the most respected institution of higher learning in the world. Our alumni include eight U.S. presidents, three hundred fifty-nine Rhodes scholars, and sixty two living billionaires. Unfortunately, while it is known for many things, Harvard is not known for producing many Christian leaders.
Consider also that nearly seventy (70) percent of millennials raised in churches leave the church or their faith at some point during their first decade of adulthood. Simultaneously, the number of Harvard freshmen identifying as atheist or agnostic has grown by twenty (20) percent since 2013.
Next year, I will be interning with Harvard College Faith and Action (HCFA), one of Harvard's largest Christian fellowships and a campus ministry of Christian Union. Christian Union (CU) is an organization dedicated to producing bold, devout Christian leaders at every Ivy League school, and eventually, each of the nation’s top schools.
As a freshman, I was really afraid and intimidated by Harvard’s party culture and intense occupation with status and wealth.
HCFA provided me with caring Christian friends, engaging theological Bible studies, and opportunities to engage my campus with the Gospel. I’ve gained brothers and sisters in Christ for life, and my relationship with God has grown stronger than ever.
I feel called to invest the community that sustained me and my faith throughout college. Over the course of the school year, I’ll be:
Working alongside five seminary-trained ministry fellows to create an environment conducive to the forging of a generation of theologically literate, evangelically passionate Christian world leaders.
Pursuing and gathering male freshman students and teaching them in theologically rich Bible Courses
Receiving training and mentorship by a staff member as I explore a call into ministry.
Unfortunately, due to budgetary constraints, CU can only pay half of my salary for the year. Boston is an expensive city, and in order to live here and have the resources to do my job well, I need to raise a salary to cover rent, utilities, public transit, food, and other cost of living expenses from July 2019-May 2020. I am so passionate about seeing God move on Harvard’s campus and witnessing God redeem the world through its graduates, but I can't do it alone.
Would you be willing to partner with me financially to see God make Christian leaders at Harvard?
In order to meet this goal, I am asking for monthly pledges of $50, $100, $200, or any other amount God lays on your heart.
