This week marks the beginning of a five month sabbatical for me. What does that mean? Lots of time at the beach, writing a book, sleeping in?
Actually none of that except for a bit more sleep hopefully. Every seven years InterVarsity gives the opportunity for staff to go on a sabbatical to take in lessons learned from the last season and prepare for the years of ministry ahead.
It is a tremendous gift to step away from day to day ministry responsibilities, which are handled by colleagues, to spend time in reading, reflection, and projects to see renewal in my life. As partners you enable this time by your continued partnership with time, talent, and treasure. Thank you. I appreciate your prayer for a time of deep engagement with God in this season.
As a note I plan to update this blog once a week with sabbatical related content and I asked another staff to post stories of students and staff engaging on campus once every 2-3 weeks.
