I just realized today that outside of InterVarsity alumni I haven't really developed or invited people to start partnering with God's work with CU InterVarsity and the part I am playing in a few months.
I have been so blessed by people from my family, friends from college, and people from church who believed in me. It was awesome to see people say yes as I took risks and asked friends and people I didn't know well. I really saw God's provision through that. Last summer Ivanna and I took a risk and trusted God to do a new thing leading students to cross cultures and cross the world following Jesus. That also meant most of my summer was focused on that project and I had little time to do fundraising. But God and his people continued to provide: this past fall I was really encouraged that many partners continued giving and I was able to continue part time.
A big challenge has been getting more connected with people and finding partners in Boulder. Joining a new church and even making friends is a challenging thing for all of us outside of college! I have been blessed with the young adults community there but have faced obstacles and fears as I tried to connect to people in the church outside of the young adults group. The reality is I have not been able to find more than a few new partners in Boulder.
God I ask that you would give me faith that you will continue to provide. I believe you will and often in ways I don't even expect. Lord I hope to find new partners who can partner in prayer and service as well as financially. I dream of having a team of people in Boulder praying together and partnering with us to see your Kingdom come to CU!
I specifically want to ask God:
For prayer warriors that can meet and call upon your name and pray for your work at CU!
For partners near Boulder who want to serve and encourage us as students and staff.
That you move your kingdom forward at CU through students and staff and partners. I long to be on campus but even more I long to see you show up on campus!
That you give me faith, courage and strategy to connect with new people and invite people to partner in different ways.
Amen
