campus ministry?

Kate and I met with Joe Zickafoos (Campus Ministries Director in Aberdeen), and John Koschell (European Chi Alpha Director) for lunch today. John and his wife Anita have been supported by Calvary since 1979, and recalls many stories of my Uncle Bob on a missions trip to Munich years back. He even reminded me of a time he was in Minier, Illinois to raise missions support. Many of my father's relatives live in the central illinois area. Obviously, my familial connections run deep with John, so it was really nice spending the afternoon with him.

There is the potential for Kate and I developing a campus ministry here in Edinburgh, with the mentoring of Joe. It would be in relation to Eikon's ministry throughout this city, so it's an incredibly exciting opportunity. We both have such a passion for building bridges with students. I'm not going to dive into too much because it's still very much in the brainstorming process. Kate and I will begin going up to Aberdeen to spend time with Joe and another missionary Sara to start learning, praying, and developing the conceptual framework for what a campus ministry in Edinburgh will involve. Obviously, Tony and Yvonne would be an integral part as well because both have a gift for reaching students (Yvonne being a professor and Tony teaching in previous years).

Please put that on the prayer list for us both.
