InterVarsity @ Harvard

I was working on a presentation on my ministry to give at churches / large groups of people & started investigating some of the evidences of InterVarsity's ministry in recent years. I came across this article on Intervarsity's work @ Harvard - here is an excerpt:

Harvard United Ministry chaplain Jeffrey K. Barneson says Harvard has a reputation for being irreligious. “I get these calls from people saying, ‘Oh I’ve heard that Harvard is a godless place,’” he says.

This reputation may soon be no more. According to University President Lawrence H. Summers, the evangelical Christian community here at Harvard has grown significantly.

Speaking to prospective freshmen during prefrosh weekend, Summers said that the number of students at Harvard who identify themselves as evangelical Christians has doubled in the last decade.
