International Graduate Student Ministry – Gracepoint Berkeley
love locally, impact globally
This week’s text tells the chilling story of a man who came face to face with Jesus with the right question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” And although Jesus offers it to him, he goes away sad, unable to receive it. Nachfolge is German for “follow me” and is the original title of the book by Dietrich Bonhoeffer translated to English as The Cost of Discipleship. This man is a warning to all whose lives are going well: we must not allow what we have to cause us to delay in responding to his call to follow. We may not get another chance. Jesus says, “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Though we may have PhDs, we must become like little children.

International Graduate Student Ministry (IGSM) is an official graduate student group at UC Berkeley. IGSM started in the fall of 2003 with the vision to help all UC Berkeley graduate students from various countries (including students from the United States) find out the true meaning and purpose of their lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of us also attend Gracepoint Berkeley, where Pastor Ed and Kelly Kang lead the ministry.
