Thanks for providing a great example of what we need much more of!

You’re right; collaborative ministry isn’t the norm. If I can ever help you or those ministers think through this stuff, let me know. Thanks for what you’re doing.

Our focus is on helping students think about vocation and call, what they do with their lives and how they do it. It is a great job with two problems. One is connecting with campus ministers and helping them see how we can work together. Sadly, collaborative ministry isn’t the norm. But I think I’m slowly making some headway. The second is getting congregations and other groups to understand that we are not a “typical” (as if typical really existed) campus ministry. I often get asked how many students “I have” pr do we do spring break trips or have worship. Well, the answer is 0 students, no mission trips, no worship. My job is to work with, support, help other groups and their students, not build a group of students.
But the chance to think seriously with students about God’s calling to all Christians in general and to them, as an individual in particular is needed and rewarding work.
Thanks for mentioning the non standard college ministries!
