February 2001

• We are still on staff.

• We are not leaving ministry

• You do not need to change anything about the way you give.

• We are still involved to a small degree with the ministry on campus at Michigan.

• Most of our time will be spent raising support.

• When our support is raised we will return full-time to campus.

Shelly and I apologize for any confusion the last letter we sent out on behalf of our campus director, Jeff Nieman, may have caused.

We still on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ and do not have any plans to leave staff. We are still a part of the ministry here at the University of Michigan. We continue to be involved in a few things on campus. Shelly is still in charge of finances for our team. I am still in charge of organizing and running our spring break trip to Florida. However, most of our time now will be spent raising support.

Our situation now is similar to our situation before we reported to campus in the fall of 1999. We are meeting with people, telling them more about our ministry, and asking them to consider supporting our ministry financially. When we have raised the support we need, we will return to working full-time on campus.

Please do not stop your support! All Crusade staff, from time to time, have to raise additional support. It is a normal aspect of being a missionary. Overseas missionaries come home on furloughs. We do not have that luxury. Usually staff raise additional support before and after summer project. Because of the amount of support we need to raise we had to leave our full-time work on campus at the beginning of this semester.

I hope this clarifies our situation! Please, contact us if you have any questions! We so very much appreciate your prayers and your continued support during this time! It is our hope that when we are through with this period of support raising that we will have a more solid financial support base that will enable us to continue our work on campus without pause.
