Testimonials

BSAP has been a great experience!  I was blessed to be able to meet other women facing similar struggles and challenges in life and work. We were challenged to think about our everyday lives and various disciplines in terms of God's kingdom; helping us to grow in faith, calling, and life direction. Also, we were able to hear and share testimony and exhortation about overcoming obstacles. Although new, the BSAP group already feels like family!

-Marisha Collins, PhD Candidate in Biology at Boston College

The Black Scholars and Professionals Ministry of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is helping Black students and faculty realize their full potential as disciples of Jesus Christ. We're teaching them to transform the lives of the people around them by following Jesus with passion and excellence. We're challenging them to place their academic and professional training at the service of God's Kingdom.

-Rocklyn Clarke, Pastor of Life Church Ministries, Inc. in Dorchester, MA

From my early academic years as a freshman at MIT through the new challenges as a junior faculty member at Tufts University, I have really seen God's grace poured out in my life through Pastor Alice's ministry and BSAP.  Every gathering always leaves me with hope and faith as I hear the common struggles that we face as Christians and hear the testimonies about God's goodness and faithfulness.   BSAP gives me the strength to keep getting up!

- Dr. Valencia Joyner, Professor at Tufts University
