New Campus: Same Role



In Acts 16:7 Paul says he tried to come to Bithynia but the Holy Spirit wouldn’t let him. Sometimes as we serve the Lord we take steps one way only to be redirected by Him. I began the year working with staff to establish a ministry at Butler University, but after a few weeks met resistance and obstacles. After prayer, counsel, and consideration we now see that an ongoing work there will be a slow, gradual development. We will continue to cultivate our relationships there, but I am also beginning to oversee ministry at University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, IN. We have had a presence on this campus for several years & the ministry is in a similar season as the IUPUI ministry with many student laborers & graduates being exported. The Butler situation was disappointing, but my heart’s desire is to disciple and train students and staff to build more laborers and I am much more needed in this ripe harvest field!
