The Week of MPD!!!

Hello, friends!

Ministry Partnership Development, or MPD in the IV circles, is in intregal part of the work that we do with InterVarsity. More than just fundraising, MPD is about builiding a team to rally around us through prayer, volunteering, advocacy, and giving, as we reach the campus with the Gospel. Without our partners (like you!) we wouldn't be able to do the work that we do. Thank you.

This week, our entire staff team in Missouri is going to be taking an "MPD Focus Week" going off campus for us to focus on developing our networks and building more partnerships for the ministry. We will be putting all of our campus work (meeting with students, leading bible studies, things like that) on hold so we can refocus and remember that MPD is important for our work too.

Friends, will you be praying for our team this week as we enter into this time? Please pray for a few things specifically:

- Pray for diligence as we work. MPD is one of those things that isn't really a ton of fun for most staff. It's easy to get distracted and want to do other things. It's easy to forget how important this work is. Pray that God will continue to direct us and guide us as we work.

- Pray for a constant reminder of God's presence. One of the biggest temptations when doing MPD is to get too high when good things happen and too low when bad things happen or nothing happens. We need to be constantly reminded of God's faithfulness and his presence regardless of our funding percentages, the number of phone calls we make, or how an appointment goes.

- Pray for God's provision. We know that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He holds the whole world in his hands and is our great provider. Would you please pray that as we take these risks and ask people to partner with us, that God will provide for us?

If you'd like to join our team, we would love to have you on board! Here's how:

- If you'd like to volunteer, advocate, or be part of our intentional prayer team, you can email us and we'd love to chat!

Have an excellent day!
