Description
Recipient of a Christianity Today 1993 Critics Choice Award!Over the last fifty years God has used InterVarsity Christian Fellowship to shape the lives of thousands of students.

Eventually these influences coalesced to form InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in the United States fifty years ago. From those early beginnings with only a few staff covering the whole country and a world show more war breaking out, the work grew and flourished beyond human expectation.From the Urbana conventions to a new approach to Christian witness called friendship evangelism to in-depth inductive study of the Bible, InterVarsity was constantly innovating and growing.
