Twenty Years and Just Getting Started

As crazy as it sounds, I began year 21 at LifeWay this week. I would have never imagined that God would allow me to serve Him through one place this long. What an incredible ride and storied past. I began as an editor for some discipleship resources; transitioned to managing the youth discipleship section; became a consultant in discipleship; ran back to the student area as an editor and most recently as a specialist helping student leaders minister to students and their families. What an amazing run and what a great ministry like LifeWay that has allowed me to grow and stretch and learn and help others.

I am excited about a new opportunity that LifeWay is allowing me to influence and guide. In September, Eric Geiger announced a new strategic emphasis for our World Changers and P2 Missions (PowerPlant) ministries called “Change the City, Change the World”. (You can read that announcement here.)
The impact of the cities upon the culture of the world is powerful.

So . . . God is allowing me to be a part of His work of mobilizing students on the front lines of missions in cities for multiple weeks a summer.  World Changers and P2 Missions have done an incredible job of ministering to communities through North America and I am glad to join them in their ministries. I have much to learn. I am excited and overwhelmed at the same time. I will be thinking and planning strategically to come alongside and partner with local churches including new church plants to better meet the needs of their communities and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.


I covet your prayers.
