Last Friday night I stepped onto campus at the University of Guelph. It was fun to once again feel the anticipation of another school year starting, and experience the hustle and bustle of students on campus.
I attended the Power to Change weekly meeting at the University of Guelph with over 100 students. It was neat to see all the new first year students checking out Power to Change and to also watch the upper year students leading the gathering with enthusiasm and energy.
This semester the University of Guelph is running a mentorship program and I signed up to mentor a few women. I'm looking forward to see who God will bring into my life and what he has in store for us as we meet. Please pray that this mentorship program would help students know Jesus more deeply and live an authentic Christian life on campus.
Fall Focuses
A current priority for me is helping my team (pictured above) finalize the different locations we will send mission trips to. We're talking to other missions organizations we want to partner with, we're looking for leaders for each trip, we're revising our application process, talking about how to promote these trips, and so much more. Please pray that God would lead and direct us to the right opportunities, that God would provide leaders for each trip, and that he would begin calling students to participate in these trips.
Thank you for all the ways you partner together with me to help students know Jesus more. Together God is using us in the lives of women at the U of G and he's using us to give students the opportunity to go on a mission trip.
A highlight from August was attending our intern orientation. This fall we sent out a team of 3 interns to North Africa, and 3 interns to East Asia. Here are a group of us (along with other new staff and interns) doing a hike during a break one afternoon.
