When the Greek Intervarsity leaders walked into the dinning hall, late for dinner, I was a bit anxious for Camp. Questions started to roll around in my head, were the leaders ready for the responsibility that they were going to be given at camp? Would the multi-ethnic family that made up our camp intimidate some of our students? How would they enter into the tough questions that the plenary speakers would ask them? As I worried, one of my staff friends, Sean, asked if he could pray that I trust God to take care of the Greek IV leaders. As we prayed, I could hear God telling me that he had plans for the students. As I gave the students to God, he took them on an adventure!

On our first day, we looked at vision. We asked God to give us a theme to work towards our vision throughout the year. God gave all of us the idea of being a more unified movement, as we continue to reach out to the Greek System. It was amazing to watch the students listen to God, and than to begin planning the year on a vision that they owned and that God had given them!

Throughout camp, the leaders grew closer together, and more unified as they thought about their mission to the Greek System at UGA.

While they were growing more unified with each other, they were also developing cross ethnic relationships with students from other campuses; specifically the schools from Georgia! They were able and willing to enter into relationships with people who were different, which helped them to be unified with the big body of Christ that is trying to reach campuses across the southeast, and students of every nation!

Our leadership team also had a small conflict during camp. When we came together to deal with the conflict, God grew our team together, bonding us with more than just a shared mission, but with a deep love and trust for one another!

At the end of camp, we anointed each of the student leaders to go back to campus. As I put the oil on each of their foreheads, I got excited about their generation. The past two years, have been me leading the students towards a vision God had given me, but that night I realized that God was giving them the reins and the vision! They we’re becoming world changers ready and excited to impact UGA’s Greek System!
