Mark Lin came to the US to study in 1985. After graduating in 1989, he worked in Atlanta. Mark and his wife joined Atlanta Chinese Christian Church (ACCC) and the Campus Fellowship to serve God together. During these years, they eagerly participated in Sunday school and prayer meetings at the church. They also attended bible study groups, serving God with brothers and sisters. September 2001, Brother Lin, obeying God's call and direction, joined the Campus ministry full time. Our church, understanding the particular conditions of the Campus ministry – established a "Campus Home" as a place for gathering and messages. Since October 2001, Rev. and Mrs. Lin's full time service in the Campus ministry. From January 2002, the "Campus Home" has been holding Sunday service and Sunday school. A peculiarity of the Campus ministry is that students don't stay long – graduating after 3-5 years. The short period from their entry to graduation is our opportunity to sow and harvest. We must build up their strength in the Lord, making sure they grow into mature Christians before they leave the campus. Not only will they stand tall in our society, but they will also carry on our Lord's mission– bringing people to the Lord. Currently we have 40 people on average in Sunday worship, 80 people in Friday fellowship, and 30 in Sunday school. Some non-believers also participate. In June of this year, Rev. Lin was ordained to be pastoral staff in ACCC.

Roger is entering in his 1st year of staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. InterVarsity is an interdenominational campus ministry serving 35,000 students on over 560 college and university campuses nationwide. InterVarsity/USA was founded in 1941, and its focuses include evangelism, discipleship, racial reconciliation, and world missions. After graduating from Georgia Tech in August 2004, Roger worked as a project manager for Southeast Towers, a startup telecom firm. In a short period of time, Roger was a major part of one of the fastest growing communications tower companies in the southeastern United States. However, after working in the telecom industry for a year and a half, Roger was called into full-time ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Atlanta, with Asian Christian Fellowship at Georgia Tech. His desire to invest in college students' lives and to see God transform the university far outweighed the success in business he had achieved. This summer has been quite busy for Roger. In June, he spent 10 days in Madison, WI for InterVarsity's Orientation for New Staff. It was an intense time of training and ministry preparation, where he learned about building a ministry support team and InterVarsity's history and vision. Roger has also spent much time this summer meeting with leaders and developing a new vision and strategy for Georgia Tech. Freshman outreach, evangelism, service to the urban poor, and small group Bible studies are a few of the renewed commitments that Asian Christian Fellowship is making. Roger recently was accepted at Fuller Theological Seminary and will be taking classes on a part-time basis. Roger is married to Jessie Lee, daughter of Fred and Betty Lee and formerly an InterVarsity staff. Roger and Jessie recently celebrated their one year wedding anniversary. Jessie is in graduate school at Emory University, earning a master's degree in teaching.

Here are some things for which Roger would love your prayers for:

• Freshman outreach – that God would bring a new class of students who love the Lord and want to grow spiritually.
• Small group Bible studies – that God would use these weekly meetings in dorms to form true community and accountability, and that these studies would lead to people coming to know the Lord.
• Discipleship – that Roger would have the Lord’s wisdom in mentoring students and developing new leaders.
