Last week I was in Chicago meeting with the UKirk (http://www.ukirk.org/) Fundraising Resource Team. Our goal is to develop systems to help campus ministers and ministries meet ever present financial needs. Situations and systems are rapidly changing often resulting in new, and at times overwhelming, pressure on those working to minister to students on a daily basis. The team members have real experience in campus ministries and thereby consider the work a coming alongside to help.
Look for updates and practical help in the coming months.
Here are the UKirk Fundraising Resource Team members I am privileged to be working with:
- Mark Elsdon Campus Co-Pastor/Executive Director, Pres House, Madison Wisconsin
- Stead Halstead, former campus minister and current MBA student, Eugene Oregon
- Adrian McMullen Associate for Collegiate Ministries at the General Assembly offices; Louisville, Kentucky
- Diana Malcom Associate in Ministry for College-Age Ministries, State College Presbyterian Church, State College, Pennsylvania
- Susan Rose Campus Minister, United Campus Ministry University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas
Thanks for helping lead the conversation! I’m excited to see where it goes!
It is good to be considering how to be more intentional with our fund and friend raising as we move into a new paradigm for campus ministry – both on campus and with congregationally connected ministries.
