This is an eerie time for me. Campus ministers are racing to get ready for the arrival of students in the next couple of weeks - I'm getting a steady stream of emails requesting prayer for freshmen outreach - but I have few scheduled activities. They certainly don't want me showing up while they are… Continue reading August 19, 2018 — Still in Bethlehem

In the absence of schedued events it seems like I don't do much. But each day is filled with a parade of phone calls, emails, and minor chores which make a big difference in the end. So far this month I've talked and emailed with several RUF committee members, campus ministers, and coordinators. I installed… Continue reading August 13, 2018 — At Home

My primary concern this week was… Continue reading July 21, 2018 — Preparing for Staff Training

A week ago Ruth and I were settling into our room in Atlanta prior to the beginning of RUF's July Assessment. We were given two couples and a single man to focus on, with the assistance of a younger RUF minister and his wife who were learning how Assessment works. These weeks are always encouraging… Continue reading July 16, 2018 — RUF Assessment

I was at home all last week! I can't remember the last time that happened. My main project was preparing for RUF Assessment this week. Ruth and I are assigned to three men interested in ministry with RUF. I read their materials, called references, listened to their sermons, and participated in a video conference with… Continue reading July 9, 2018 — At home
