FAQs

What if I am not Pilipino American, or don’t serve PAIV students?

While we long to see every Pilipino American student taste and see Jesus in a refreshing and compelling way, we also believe that everyone can benefit from seeing Jesus through other cultures. Please watch the Blessing video in the training PPT for more!

What is a Pocket Proxe?

A Proxe is a set of large, interactive visual displays meant to start spiritual conversations on campus (with passers-by, both strangers and friends). The term Proxe is a made-up word that we use for interactive art displays that lead to the Gospel. This portable “Pocket” Proxe allows you to have spiritual conversations anywhere: cafe, after class, in the dorm, at work, your small group, you name it. 

What do I do after the pocket proxe?

Kapwa Leadership Institute 2023 

This institute is a dream of InterVarsity Staff who desired to gather key Pilipino Americans who are in college or recently graduated for a time to grow their leadership skills. We believe that there are unique contributions that Pilipino young adults bring to God’s work on campus and this institute is an attempt to challenge your thinking, address issues facing your community, and unlock your potential as a person and a leader.  

We want to gather individuals who are ready to grow in their leadership skills and use them on campus and beyond. At KALI23 you will join a diverse community of Pilipino Americans and experience: 

• One-on-one mentoring from Pilipino American IV staff 

• Deep and creative scripture study 

• Pilipino American specific seminars and resourcing 

• Ethnic identity exploration 

We will focus on the Parable of the Prodigal Son: returning and being welcomed home. How may Pilipinos on campus need to return, be welcomed, and welcome others? This brings up the idea of “balikbayan." (balikbayan(n.) - a Flipino who returns to the Philippines. Balikbayan is a portmanteau, wherein one word, balik, means to return, and the other word, bayan, means homeland). At KALI23 we hope to see this generation of Pilipino-American students: 

• Return to the Father: grow in love and personal ownership of their relationship with God 

• Return to their identity: invest in their Pilipino identity 

• Invite others to return home: be empowered to lead others in their faith journeys on campus, at home, and in churches 

DETAILS 

• December 27-30 in Chicago, IL 

• Registration Cost: $300 (apply by Sept 1), $350 (apply by Nov 1)
