    Over 800 students attended the annual Radiate conference with the theme of "Dispel the Darkness". Students attended seminars and packed seeds that were shipped to impoverished countries. 27 students prayed to receive Christ for the first time and over $75,000 was raised, meeting the goal. Back at the University of Virginia, a student leadership team was created to help run evangelism programs. After a winter camping trip, all 8 students who attended committed to continuing the ministry. The student group is now working to reach more students across campus with the gospel.

    A MOVEMENT MULTIPLIED
    In January of 2010 Lifelines at UVA began something
    that no Lifelines Ministry had done before. We created a
    leadership team of students to help us run programs and
    develop an evangelistic activity group on campus. After
    snowshoeing through the Dolly Sods wilderness our
    “hard core” factor got students excited to join us.
    Throughout the course of the year the excitement dwin-
    dled as well as involvement of students. After much
    prayer and planning we decided to give it another shot.
    This year we hiked into cabins to stay for a weekend. It
    wasn’t as “hard core” but
    it gave us ...it was up to the a greater oppor-
    tunity to students to take the expose students
    to our pro- gramming, cast
    vision,
    vision and make it a develop com-
    munity reality at UVA and stay warm!

    Eight students joined us in the Shenandoah Valley for


    concentrated Lifelines time. We talked about the value
    of community with both believers and non-believers. We
    talked about group dynamics, conflict and trust. As staff,
    we thought the weekend was successful but it was up to
    the students to take the vision and make it a reality at
    UVA.

    We asked those who wanted to commit to investing time


    and efforts into this ministry to come to our meeting on
    Tuesday. To our delight every student showed up! We
    now are in the process of developing a second evangel-
    ism activity group to reach more students in more places
    at UVA!

    students and continue to create a new path for out
    reach on grounds. (John, Jon, Lindsay, Emily,
    Hank and myself)
    > Pray for the students who were challenged at Radiate,
    that they would not lose sight of what God has
    called them to.
    > Hank and Emily are planning an evangelistic spring
    break trip canoeing in the Everglades. We have
    never done this trip before. Please pray for
    wisdom as they make decisions and as we try to
