The semester is in full swing, the seniors are anxiously counting down to graduation, and everybody is itching to spend as much time outside as possible...yep, it's Spring on Minnesota campuses.  Hard to believe the school year will be over so soon, but over these last 2 months there are still plenty of opportunities for reaching the campus and for new leaders to step up and get experience.

Next week, I will be accompanying students from St. Olaf and Hamline to InterVarsity's Milwaukee Urban Program.  There we will join with students from several other schools to partner with ministries at 7 different sites.  We will also spend a significant amount of time studying what the book of Acts has to say about service.  Please be praying for strength for students and for God to be at work transforming lives...at the Milwaukee Program this past week, 3 students made decisions to follow Christ.

Over these next several weeks I will be working with students to prepare for next school year.  This means a lot of brainstorming about new ways to reach out the campus and talking with students about potentially leading various aspects of the ministry.  Please be in prayer for wisdom as these discussions happen and for next year's leaders.

Thank you so much for your partnership with the ministries at Hamline and St. Olaf.  God is clearly at work in the lives of students, and that has been especially evident in the lives of several 1st year students I've talked with over the past few weeks.  There is a growing sense of purpose when it comes to life on campus, and that bodes well for ministry in the coming years.  Your prayers and support are a huge part of that work.  Thanks so much.
