Today, we have laid the ground work to be recognized as an official group on campus again this year at IUPUI. Our student president is Rachael Winzeler. She has years of experience on the mission field in Brazil and has come back to the states to complete her degree.
We are planning our first official meeting of the year for Monday 9/13/2010 from 6:00PM to 8:00 PM. Be sure to sign up for updates and you will get alerted when we have the meeting place reserved, or you can just check back from time to time.
We are very excited about what God has in store for us this year. It should be a fun year as we set out to change the campus for the glory of God.

A new school year
I am looking forward to working with the students that I know and also looking forward to meeting the many of you that I have yet to meet. My name is Barry Atwell and CCN has recently ask me to come on board as the "leader".
I am no longer a student, but I have taken classes at IUPUI in the past. Some of you may have seen me in the student center on Fridays last semester tooling around in my wheelchair passing out tracts and getting into some neat conversations with people.
I thought I would take a moment to let you know a little about why I am interested in CCN at IUPUI.
As a former student at IUPUI and as a resident of Indianapolis, there is a bit of a natural affinity to the campus. God has given me and my wife a real heart felt desire to see people come to know Jesus as their savior the way we have. For me, it was several years ago that I realized that even though I believed that Jesus was the son of God and that He died on the cross for me and that He rose from the dead, that alone did not save me. The Bible tells us that Satan and his demons believe. It was when I came to realize that I had violated God's laws or rules that I realized that according to the Bible, I was lost in my sin and condemned. It was then, that I became aware that I needed to repent from my sin, or turn away from my sin, and allow Jesus to be the Lord of my life. In Romans chapter 10 it say that if we declare Jesus as Lord of our life and we believe that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved.
I love people and do not want to see anyone suffer what all of us deserve to suffer because we have violated the laws of our creator. I know that none of us can do enough good to make up for what we have done wrong, but I also know that Jesus paid the price for us if we are only willing to accept what he did on our behalf.
I look forward to working with students at IUPUI as we go out and tell others the good news.
Feel free to give me a ring. My number is 317-728-1066. We will be scheduling our first meeting soon, so check back often.
