Today has already been a reminder of the complexities of campus ministry. An abundance of hats requiring not only multiple skill sets but an ability to change hats seamlessly. There is both an outward and inward pressure/desire to be all things to all people. This job requires a strength in time management, in prioritizing between what is wanted and what is necessary, between what is good and what is best. It requires one to not only be sensitive to people and circumstances but also to have a thick hide because of consistent critique and criticism.
Please be in prayer for our campus missionaries in our state of Missouri and beyond. The respect and admiration I have for them is tremendous. They are average ordinary men and women seeking to be humbly used by God in extraordinary ways as they lead our campus ministries.
