What a Joy!

About 8 years ago I walked into Libby Dorm and I met three guys, Kevin, Rob and .... (I can't think of the 3rd.) Two guys knew each other from High School and Rob was a roomie from Chicago. One of the guys filled out a survey the previous week we had administered on campus. I began talking to all three of them about Jesus, a personal relationship with God and how to know God personally. There in that room Kevin accepted Christ into his life.

The 4 1/2 years left in his college career at CU was marked with growth, leadership and a real testimony to God's work in his life. After college Kevin headed off to Malaga, Spain, our ministry partnership, to help give leadership and reach Spanish students for Christ.

All throughout those years Kevin and I saw each other often and grew a great friendship. So when Kevin talked about coming on staff after his time in Spain I jumped at the opportunity to recruit him to come to CU on our team. About 3 years ago Kevin joined our team and continued his ministry right where he left off when he graduated. Kevin has done a great job in gathering men to be leaders for Christ Kingdom work at CU and has been instrument in helping us think clearly and strategically to get to all students at CU and beyond.

As you all know, Christine and I will be leaving our 11 year journey here at CU this coming August to give leadership in a movement planting adventure in Mexico City. All along we have been praying and hoping Kevin would replace us as the campus director at CU.

Well this past Friday we found out Kevin (pictured) will be replacing us. It is total joy to know that 8 years this new believer would some day be leading a spiritual movement at CU. I couldn't be happier and more fulfilled. I'm so excited for the leadership Kevin will give and how God will use him to take our ministry here at CU to a much higher level of reaching each and every student at CU and beyond. Be praying for Kevin and us in this time of transition.
