JJP: Jesus, Justice and Poverty

Do you have friends who cite the injustice, poverty and suffering in the world as evidence that the Christian God doesn't exist? Do you wonder what vocation or career God is calling you to?  Do you want to know how you can serve the poor and strangers among us?

If you've answered "yes" to any of the above, sign up for Jesus, Justice and Poverty, a 24-hour event hosted by the InterVarsity chapters in the Metro Philadelphia/Delaware area. Everyone- you, your significant others, your Greek friends, your Christian friends in other fellowship- is invited. This year's theme is Immigration, and since this is such a hot-topic issue right now, it should be of interest to a broad spectrum of people. Hope you will join us!! 

2/25/11 - 2/26/11 
Friday 5:00 pm to Saturday 6:00 pm

How do faith and social action connect? Where do religion and social justice intersect? Do we have to choose one over the other? Could it be that Faith and Service need each other?


Come explore these questions with other students through community service, group discussion, artwork and a look at Scripture in a North Philadelphia neighborhood.
