Please keep us in prayer as we labor on the University of Montana weekly. We are also, under God, praying about starting a bible study group on the campus and being an apostolic type ministry to the Christian groups on campus in order to build them up to "do the work of an evangelist" and also build unity.
I have really felt the burden to bring sound theological teaching via literature and preaching to the Christians on campus, as well as working to equip them, and working together with them to make disciples of the campus. This seems to be the apostolic mandate and pattern of ministry and the direction the Lord is taking me, specifically in our ministry to the campus. we must primarily build up the body of Christ at that locale in the hopes that they will then be the ones to do the evangelistic and discipling efforts, eventually becoming autonomous from anything that we offer.
The Lord seems to be wanting me to employ the indigenous missionary principles to the campus environment, raising up laborers among the students as to not only be a beacon in preaching the word open air, but also living in holiness among them as to see the life of a Christian in addition to hearing the pure Gospel.
The direction will include, under the hand and support of God:
So please dear saints, lift these things to the throne in prayer and earnestly pray that the Lord will guide me by His sovereign, omnipotent hand in these things. I don't trust my ability to follow, but rather His ability to lead. May the Lamb that was slain, receive the reward of His sufferings.
Yours in service to Jesus Christ,

- Theological training via preaching and literature.
- Discipleship via study groups and meetings.
- Raising up laborers that are willing to walk out the Christian life, in preaching and practice, upon their campus.
- Sound hermeneutics and interpretative principles concerning the Bible.
- And more as God reveals
