We care about students empowered to lead in mission on their campus, in their families, and in their communities. As a region we are working to deepen the student empowerment on campus and I had the chance last week to see that we have a long way to go.
I was blessed to meet with the George Ogalo Country Director for IFES – Kenya, a sister movement of InterVarsity/USA. We met at Florissant Valley Community College, a campus where we are doing new work.
While on campus George talked about the students that lead fellowships of 3,000 on campus and elect student boards that oversee the work in Kenya. It challenges me to think what other elements of the ministry can we put in our students hands and how to create an atmosphere where staff invite their students to ownership in this way.
Pray for us as we go about the work of empowering students as they arrive back on campus.
