"You've been bewitched!"
Priyanka Patel's relationship with her family changed forever in a single conversation. As she stood in the parking lot explaining that she'd become a Christian, Priyanka understood what singular devotion to Jesus might cost as a child from a devout Hindu family. But was he worth it? Thankfully, the community she'd developed through OneWay, InterVarsity's South Asian chapter at UT Austin, was there to help her navigate the difficult road ahead. And years later, Priyanka would have the chance to encourage another young student asking the same question she once asked: Is following Jesus worth the cost?
Enjoy Priyanka's story.

What is InterVarsity World Changers?
We all know that everyone wants to change the world. But what does it mean to be a world changer? During our time in InterVarsity, we learn that a World Changer is defined by a life committed to loving God, his Word, his people, and his purposes. Through the InterVarsity World Changers podcast, we are celebrating stories of God's world-changing work in and through alumni like you. These stories will encourage and inspire you as you join God in your context and continue your own journey as a world changer. Go change that world, Alumni!
