DORM TEAM

Last week we hosted a barbeque for InterVarsity's Dorm Team.  This is a team of 30 students who lead bible studies in the dorms of UCSD.  Their primary purpose is to show freshmen the love Jesus has for them.  Jesse was a part of Dorm Team as a student and has overseen the ministry for the past 5 years he has been on staff.  These students have a passion for freshmen, seeing lives changed, and helping students learn who Jesus is by studying the gospels.

This year's Dorm Team

Over the past 5 years Jesse has tweaked and changed the structure of Dorm Team in order to reach as many freshmen as possible.  Currently, each college (there are 6 at UCSD!) has a team of 4 leaders who lead weekly Bible studies with anywhere from 10-25 freshmen.  They also mentor and disciple students as well as lead outreaches in the dorms.  There are also 4 leaders that make up the "core team." These leaders meet with Jesse to plan outreaches and coach the bible study leaders on leading bible studies in the dorms.

I have slowly been getting to know and love these leaders-they are amazing! I am so inspired and in awe of their love for God, the bible, and the campus.  Many of these students did not know the Lord when they came to college, or their faith was their parents.  They have sought after truth and have found that Jesus is the one true God. College is a time where people are figuring out who they are and what they believe.  Freshmen year is a crucial time to reach students before other things of this world grab hold of their heart.  These students are fighting for freshmen's hearts and are winning! Jesse feels so blessed to be placed in charge of this awesome ministry.
