There is so much to do here in NYC, and there are some
things that are more tedious than others. When I first arrived, we had just
finished a survey that mapped the spiritual atmosphere of the students and
college workers of the city. It really is quite fascinating, and you can look
at the NYC Campus Survey here. I don’t mind telling you, though, that it was very
meticulous and sometimes agonizing work to get that compiled. I love the
results, but the procedure has me looking at our next one with fear and
trepidation.
Well, had. I related how
one Campus Minister used the summary in his report, and got a clear directive
from his organization as to how to work more effectively, and he even received
some much needed funding. Well, another story blessed me incredibly. In all the
details of planning for One Cry next semester, Jeremy got a hold of another
prominent leader of a college ministry that was holding an event around the
same time. In conversation, he was surprised to learn that this campus minister
was actually living in NYC, not in North Carolina, like we had supposed. And
how did he get here? In considering his next steps, a copy of our summary was
passed on to him, and while that wasn’t the deciding factor in his transplant,
it had a huge influence.
One of the results of the survey was the glaring need for
more workers in the harvest field. I’m not sure why I’m so surprised when God
answers the prayers we pray that He in fact told us to pray (Luke 10:2)…
