Katie on Campus:As many of you know, our ministry at OSU is in a much different stage than the UNI Navigators were. When we arrived this fall, we had a small staff team with us and zero students. This has provided us the chance to step back, reflect on 10 year of campus ministry, and seek God on his direction for this new phase in the Pacific Northwest.
On Wednesday afternoons, Katie has been leaving me with the kids, and going onto campus with Emily, our only staff woman. Katie and Emily have been meeting OSU women, collecting spiritual interest surveys, and sharing the good news of the Gospel. With 4 small kids at home, this is the first time in a while that Katie has had the freedom to be on campus, personally initiating with college girls.
One of Katie's favorite meetings has been with Kinzie:
"We met Kinzie earlier this year when we were discussing our spiritual interest survey with one of her friends. When she heard we were discussing faith, she jumped into the conversation. We discussed what she believed about God, and what she thinks it looks like to have a relationship with Him. We exchanged phone numbers, and Emily has now been having coffee with Kinzie every week, and looking into the Bible together."
Katie and I are so grateful for this opportunity to step into a very young ministry, re-learn some of the lessons that come from praying for students, initiating with new people, and trusting God to use our lives to point people to Jesus!
