First thing: Season 2 of Story Central has dropped! I had the opportunity to interview Megan Koch, who is an InterVarsity alum, former volunteer staff, and current church planter in the Des Moines area. It was such a great conversation and I'd love for you to hear it! You can click here to download the episode, and be sure to subscribe!
Second, for the first time in a long time, La Casa Leong (Omaha) was the site of hosting students! The Creighton InterVarsity's Leader Team needed a place for dinner after their Leadership Retreat and we were more than happy to host. Megan made a delicious meal of bibimbap and it was very well received (as it always it). Of course, we then also played our favorite InterVarsity Staff game: HOW MUCH FOOD? The game goes like this:
"How much food should we make?"
Make food
"I think we made too much food"
Students arrive and start eating
"We don't have enough food"
Start to make more food
Students stop eating
New food is ready
"We made too much food"
Out come the takeout boxes
"Where did all the food go?"
It's a fun thing to now be in a situation where we get to host but not staff. When we were doing field work and directly leading chapters, when we hosted, we had to wear multiple hats simultaneously. We were hosts but also staff for students. That led to really stressful events (all worth it, of course). Now, since we're only taking on the role of host, we can focus on making sure everyone feels welcome (and making sure the kids are fed).
Please be praying for the Creighton leaders. They are a great group of students and I'm excited to see what God will be doing in them and through them this year.
Have an excellent day!
