Friday I had the opportunity to have lunch with Dr. Murray, former president of CIU and current chancellor. I had been recruited to be part of the planning committee for World Christian Week (WCW) at CIU and as Dr. Murray is speaking at WCW all the people on the planning committee, along with a few others, met Friday for lunch and to discuss more aspects of WCW. It was awesome. Largely because Dr. Barnett (the head of the intercultural college) was also there and I got to listen to these two amazing men talk MISSIONS!
It was awesome and got me super excited. They talked about the slack of understanding of what missions and mission is and some of the current things happening in the world of missions. I was on the edge of my seat and I'm sure there was a big, silly grin on my face. Few things could make me happier.
The awesome thing is that I will get to meet with students who also have a passion for missions to help plan the WCW. We will get to figure out ways to get people involved and talk about what is important to try to teach people through WCW. So, on a regular basis I will get to talk with fellow students about these issues which are near and dear to my heart. I am really ridiculously happy about all of this. Excited to be able to pull upon my past experience, but mostly excited that I'll get to have at least one more meeting with Dr. Murray to hear him talk about missions more. It's basically amazing in every way.
