Student Quotes
"Often it can be difficult and isolating to assert or stand by your
religious beliefs. Provision provides me with an environment in which I can
freely worship God in my own cultural expression, a community of prayer, love,
and support, and opportunities to foster personal spiritual growth and
maturity. Provision is an awesome student led ministry, that helps me to stay
focused on Jesus Christ." -Kristan Lockett '03
"Provision is one of the smaller fellowships on campus, but it's
evidence that a few can still gather to worship Christ in a transforming way.
Because there is this intimacy in number, friendship is a given. Laughter and
weeping and honesty are all a part of the coming together before each other and
before God. Provision is a place to talk about how to lead a Christian life at
Dartmouth. There are also times when I fall silent in brokenness here. Wherever
my heart is, there is comfort in this fellowship because I am, no doubt, with
friends who love Jesus." -Mindy Au '03
"Provision goes out of its way to create an atmosphere of intimacy. I
can always count on being edified and encouraged in a powerful way."
-Sherrie Angus '04
