Our Winter Retreat this year will be from 1/30/09-2/1/09. We'll be heading up to beautiful Toah Nipi Retreat Center in Rindge, NH for a weekend of time with God, rejuvination and fun. We're excited to welcome our speaker Lisa Espineli Chin, the director of International Student Ministries with InterVarsity. She was a keynote speaker at Urbana '03 and 06, InterVarsity's national missions conference. Lisa is a visionary who has a particular heart for international students. She also serves on the board of HOPE International, a non-profit organization focused on poverty alleviation through microenterprise development. Lisa was a Filipeno international student, is married to a Chinese-American man and together they have three children.

We're still brainstorming a topic but it's sure to be along the lines of faith and what it means for your life. If this is your first time at a retreat with AACF be sure to take advantage of our first-timer discount code: FIRSTTIME.

This week, we’re having the last Large Group of the semester, and have invited Dean Sue Brown, an academician and Christian at Harvard, to speak. She will be sharing her personal journey of how she’s found God at Harvard, about the true meaning of Veritas, and how we too can find God in the red brick walls of our university. A lot of us are probably starting to feel stressed; this will be a great antidote! Come out, worship God, and center yourselves with Him and your community as you prepare to take your finals!

Afterward, we’ll be having a DISNEY themed AFA for all you Disney lovers!! The details will be a surprise, but it’ll be chill and it’ll be ridiculously fun!

As students, schoolwork is incredibly important to us, but as Christians, we're not exactly sure how exactly it fits in with God. Jesus promises fullness in our lives, but sometimes, school can feel like drudgery. This Friday, Finny Kuruvilla will be speaking to us about the spirituality of school and what God and the Bible have to say about being Christian students. Finny graduated from CalTech, received a masters at MIT, and became an MD/PhD through Harvard Medical School, and is no stranger to schools with overloaded expectations and insane workloads.

Afterward, Jon Tam will put on the annual AACF Christmas Play for our AFA (After Fellowship Activity)! We'll have special Christmas food and drinks! Come watch your AACF brothers and sisters perform in this special production with us!!

Darfur Fast: Thanks to everyone who donated last Friday to Darfur. We were able to raise $200 toward helping those who are suffering from the genocide in Darfur. Please continue to pray for them and their families and an end to the violence.
