Yeah…it comes across as a bit cliche. But it is certainly a significant idea which has reinforced my own sense of calling to campus ministry at the University of Cincinnati.
In just about 9 days students will return to their academic, social, and vocational pursuits here in Cincinnati. One of the things I hope to accomplish as I connect with and build relationships with these university students is to make them aware of the spiritual pursuit which can infuse their college years with even greater purpose and meaning. For many of us, our college experience was the launching pad of life…establishing a trajectory which impacts so many decisions and people.
Alec Hill, the president of InterVarsity campus ministry was recently quoted as saying “The campus is our mission field. By changing lives on campus we can change the world.”
I agree! And I can’t wait to start meeting the students God is going to allow me to disciple, encourage, and befriend.
UC is an exciting place to be! (as are all colleges and universities, eh?)
