a month into ministry

it’s hard to believe that just over a month ago, i was raising the last of my support, anxious to come on staff with Campus Crusade.  i have learned so much in these last weeks in the context of full-time ministry, and i doubt it’s going to slow down anytime soon.  i work on a team of four who travel the state of Nebraska working with students on 23 campuses to spread the Gospel.  every day and every week looks different, but there has yet to be a day where i haven’t seen God at work.

at Columbus Community College there is a solid group of over 20 students who meet together and share the same vision of reaching their entire campus for Christ.  God is definitely moving at Wayne State College; there have been new believers in the last month, and upperclassmen are stepping up into spiritual leadership roles.  i have been absolutely blessed to meet with two girls at Concordia College in Seward and see their hearts for their Lord and their common desire to see fellow students experience Him.  the women’s ministry at Midland in Fremont is absolutely thriving with some stellar student leaders heading it up.  and new movements have been started on five campuses since the start of the school year.

there is so much to do, and the laborers are few.  i am humbled that God lets me in on what He’s doing in college students’ lives all over the state, and i pray His power is made perfect in my weakness.  if there’s anything i’ve learned at the beginning of this year of ministry, it’s to believe God can do immeasurably more than i can ask or imagine, and i need to expect Him to be at work long before i show up.
