As I've been meeting with people and telling them about RUF, I've been pleasantly encouraged and affirmed by my interactions. Here are a few things that have come up in my meetings:
1.) Many people recognize the need for campus ministries on universities. They understand it can be a lonely time for incoming students who are looking for ways to fit in on their campus. Also, college is a crucial time for students to learn how to make their faith their own and continue to develop their faith apart from their family. Campus ministry strives to help students grow closer to God and apply the Gospel's meaning to their life.
2.) Several individuals have said this is the best time in my life to spend a couple years doing something different, like work for a campus ministry. I'm young and just out of college and I'm not tied down to a career yet, so it's a perfect time to step out in faith and try something out of the ordinary. I sometimes worry what my future might look like because I've taken a "break" from the career search to do this internship. But many people I've talked with seem to think my internship is a great opportunity for me to grow in a lot of ways that will help, not hinder, the career I choose someday.
3.) Every person I've talked with has expressed excitement for me and my journey ahead. They think my internship is a neat opportunity to serve the Lord and grow in my spiritual journey. They're excited to see what unfolds and how God works in me and through me during this internship. Their excitement further fuels mine!
4.) Everyone, so far, wants to help me in some way. Not every person is able to contribute financially, but everyone has expressed a desire to pray for me, which means a lot. I really value prayer and the fact that people think what I'm doing is something worth praying for. When people say they want to pray for me, it shows me they believe what I'm doing is important and they want to be invested in my internship with me. They want to pray on my behalf that God will provide for me; that He will give me peace so I can trust Him; that He will give me strength to be persistent in asking people to support me. I'm so thankful for those who seek to intercede for me.
If you are reading this and you are someone who is praying for me, thank you so, so much. I'm truly grateful that you would take time to think about me and lift me up in prayer. I need prayerful encouragement as much as I need financial support because raising funds can be very difficult and stressful. But God is good and keeps revealing the truth of His faithfulness to me time and again when He surrounds me with people who faithfully pray for me and remind me of God's care and love.
If you are contributing financially to my internship, I can't thank you enough. No matter how big or small your gift, every amount matters and helps me get closer to the goal I need to reach before I can move. My internship is not possible without generous financial support, so I send my supporters my deepest gratitude for their desire to invest financially in my ministry.
Thank you so much. I feel so abundantly blessed and hope you do, too.
