It's amazing to think that the summer is already halfway over! It's the middle of July and before you know it, it'll be time to get ready for school again.
For InterVarsity staff, the summer is a good time to focus on ministry partnership development (affectionately known as MPD). Our schedules are a little more free so we have more time to meet with partners and potential partners to invite them to partner with us.
It's been a lot of fun meeting with folk, hearing how God is moving in their lives and connecting with them. I've done a few asks by myself and I've done a few with Megan and both types have been great.
What has been even more fun (and humbling) is how folk have started giving or increased their giving without us even connecting with them. We usually get one or two of those a year but this summer we've already have 4 or 5!
This comes at an especially good time as we have a big budget jump for the upcoming year. Every year that I've been on staff (this is now year 18!), I've made budget and ended "in the black." Even in just the first few weeks of the summer, God has shown, through unexpected generosity, that he plans on showing up again in our finances. It's been a fun reminded that God is in control.
Have an excellent day!
