StuMo Staff Retreat in Great Bend


This past week Bob and I, along with the 9 other staff members, were able to sneak away to Great Bend, Kansas to plan, dream, and pray for the upcoming fall semester. The retreat was wonderful. The picture is of a handful of the staff women- Betsy, Jen, Macie, Tracy- and me. It was such a beautiful setting!


It's hard to believe that this SATURDAY the students move back to campus. It is a feeling of both excitement and anxiety. Our staff team has been working hard to ensure that we are ready to receive the students with open arms and warm hearts. As the countdown gets closer, here are some things you can be praying for:


1. Open doors into the residence halls, fraternities, sororities, and athletic teams.

2. A successful first large group meeting- Thursday, August 27 at 9:00 pm.

3. Our key students to return to campus excited and eager to share the good news of Jesus Christ with their peers!
Pray Big!

Back to School


It is hard to believe it is already August. My goodness! Where did July run off to? Here is a little bit about what Bob and I did during the month of July.


KALEO- Bob and I had the privilege to spend a short week in Panama City, Florida at KALEO. It was so much fun to be with our students and students for OU, OSU, and UCA as they made plans to impact their campuses with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Bob was able to speak on two different topics- Investigative Bible Discussions and Planning for the First 10 days of school. We also had a great time hanging out with the staff that had spent most of the summer investing in the students.


Camping in Colorado- In order to refresh before heading back to KSU, Bob and I had our first EVER camping adventure. Being a city girl, I had a week full of new experiences! We had a blast. We camped, hiked, fished, and enjoyed s'mores by the campfire.


STUMO Training- From the mountains of Colorado, to the hills and humidity of Arkansas, Bob and I headed to Fayetteville for a handful of training days. We learned SO much and are so eager to head back to campus!
