Dear Student Leaders of IVCF Campus Chapters:

I greet you with the grace and peace poured into our lives by God our Father and our Master, Jesus Christ.

You are God’s primary witnesses in the student world. And God has called IVCF Philippines to nurture, train and equip you to proclaim Jesus and His gospel in your campuses. We are partners in building God’s kingdom in this world. Together we can make a big impact for God through our ministries. So let us improve our ways and organization.

As we celebrate IVCF Philippines’ 56th anniversary this year, we are strengthening our movement by simple processes, like Campus Chapter Affiliation. The National Office would like to give official recognition to campus chapters who would like to be part of, participate in, and support the national student movement. This is a tangible expression of IVCF’s commitment to ensure the welfare and development of the campus chapter.

You and your campus chapters are very much part of IVCF Philippines. This affiliation process will make it formal and official.

And so, let me officially invite you and your members to be an official IVCF Campus Chapter. We are providing you with Affiliation Guidelines, Application Form, and Agreement Form to help you with this process. Please coordinate with your IVCF regional staffworkers for the submission of the requirements which is extended to February 18, 2009.

I hope to announce all our official IVCF Philippines Campus Chapter this coming March 2009. This is an exciting development for our movement. Join us in building a Christ-centered, dynamic community of Filipino students and graduates worldwide, passionately participating in the building of God’s Kingdom in the world.

Your servant-leader in Christ,

Erickson M. Velardo
National Director
