Story from the Street - Minneapolis

Here is a ministry highlight from Bruce Knutson in Minneapolis, MN. Bruce is Metro staff who works in close partnership with the Navs Collegiate ministry in order to see people continue their walk with Jesus through their lives:

The Fall Collegiate Conference this past autumn was great. Over 350 students attended the Upper Mid-West Collegiate conference called, THE WEEKENDER. Students from Navigator campus ministries in North and South Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota attended. One of the goals is to recruit students to a solid walk with Jesus while in college. It has encouraged our hearts to reflect on the impact collegiate staff recruited from this ministry of Fall Conferences have had on the upper mid-west. Ernie, a former pastor, came to me when he was in transition. We were able to assist him in transition into Navigator staff for the University of Minnesota ministry. He has since trained Joe who is currently leading the U of M ministry while other staff are on sabbatical. Greg and Mari Lynn, who lead the North Dakota State University ministry, and Tim and Tara, who are at Whitewater in Wisconsin, were also sent out from our work with Alumni here in Minneapolis.

Thank you for your partnership with us in this ministry. Having a Fall Conference is often the first step in helping students. Many will become long time friends and life long workers for Jesus. Pray for each campus as they begin a new semester and as students plan for the summer or for life after graduation.
