REFORMEDUNIVERSITY FELLOWSHIP MATTHIAS LIND
INTERN
Born in the Chicago suburbs, Matthias was raised alongside his
trusty brother by his faithful and loving parents. He graduated from
The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee by way of Marquette
University with a degree in Civil Engineering. Shortly before
completing his degree in engineering, Matthias felt the call to
pursue ministry and accepted a position with RUF as an intern on
the campus of Indiana University. Matthias enjoys Mexican food,
hipster music, bicycles, rock climbing, skiing, and lives with an
undying affection for the sport of hockey. He also suffers from a
crippling addiction to high end coffee.

WHAT
More than just a ministry on the university campus, RUF seeks to be a
ministry for the university. We strive to serve in this unique stage of a
student?s life in the world they live in, exploring together how the
Lordship of Christ informs every area of life.
RUF wants to create a fellowship of students where every person,
regardless of background, personal history, or conviction, can
examine the truth claims of Reformed Christianity in a
non-threatening atmosphere. Our fellowship on campus is not limited
to those who have a prior commitment to being Reformed,
Presbyterian or even Christian.
?The point isthis: whoever sowssparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sowsbountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one
must give ashe hasdecided in hisheart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God lovesa cheerful giver. And God isable to
make all grace abound to you, so that havingall sufficiency in all thingsat all times, you may abound in every good work.?
-2 Corinthians9:6-8 ESV

WHY INTERNSThe RUF Internship is designed
to provide recent college
graduates the opportunity to
learn under, and minister
alongside, a seasoned campus
minister. It will expose them to
all areas of ministry; building
into the lives of students,
leading small groups, attending
training where interns are
personally developed by RUF
staff, and planning ministry
events, just to name a few.
Indiana University is a campus
of nearly 50,000 students from
all over the world, and as such,
represents a great opportunity
to share the gospel. As many
can attest, college can be
constant rush of stress,
temptation, and confusion.
RUF, and myself, hope serve
right in the midst of those
struggles, and reach into the
lives of hurting and lost
students to share the gospel
truth, as well as grow each day
with them as we seek to live
those truths out.

HOWTOHELP
Each year I am tasked with raising $45k to be able to remain on campus and serve the students
of RUF. I Invite you to join me in this Gospel centered vision for Indiana University, and to
invest into the growth of the church in a place so desperately in need of it. I invite you to invest
yourself through the resources that God has given you? your energy, your prayers, and your
money? in this work to which God has called us.
Please prayerfully consider partnering with me in this work. For myself, RUF meant the world,
and for so many others, it has meant a respite from the world, and new life in the saving grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
