In my experience of student ministry while at university, it is often exhausting and hard work, especially with the continual turnover of students each year. The turnover means training and equipping of new leaders to take the place of the previous years students. It means building new and deep relationships each year and sometimes lacking longer term confidants and stability.
Dave and Cathy patiently endured through each transition and embraced the eager newcomers both as spiritual children and friends. Daily and weekly they challenged us as students to commit our lives to Christ and sought to thoroughly equip and train us to live for Jesus.
I'm actively serving in my local church, trying my best to be a loving husband and father to my family and am seeking to witness for Jesus in my engineering consulting firm and in all these things I can thank God for the spiritual nurture I received during my university days through the ministry of Dave and Cathy.
