Serving with The Navigators

My Spring 2012 Ministry

I will continue to serve with The Navigators at Florida State University in the Spring 2012 semester. I see myself contributing in the following ways:

  • Teaching at the weekly Nav Night meeting, twice in January each on the subject of idolatry and potentially once more at the end of the semester on a topic yet to be determined
  • Mentoring a junior named Josh one-to-one, focusing in on developing Christ-like character
  • Developing and maintaining two websites: (1) floridanavs.org, used by the entire Florida region, and (2) fsunavigators.org, which includes our ministry’s podcast
  • Fund-raising for the ministry (see below)

My involvement won’t be limited to these areas, but this is where I know I can make strong contributions.

Raising Financial Support

Could you give $10 a month? Yes, even $10 each month would be a huge help! I am grateful to anyone who can give any amount.

Contributions for the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 semesters will be used in the following ways:

  • Spring Conference Scholarships – Offset costs for freshmen attending our annual spring conference on January 27-29. The normal cost per student is typically about $115. Funds raised will allow freshmen attendees to pay only $75.
  • National Conference – Travel to Louisville, Kentucky in November to attend a conference with 1400 other Navigator staff.
  • Personal ministry – Includes taking students out for meals, ministry event fees, and newsletter printing.
  • Food expenses for events – Provide for some of the miscellaneous food expenses the ministry incurs throughout the year. This might include food for gameday cookouts, snacks for Nav Night, breakfast for our student leaders on their weekend training days, or food for the Christmas party.
  • Website – Expand the capability and reach of the FSU Navigators website through a variety of premium Internet technologies. (Note: None of my funding will go toward the Florida Navs website.)

All told I hope to raise $6500 to cover these five goals. (Note: I do not receive a paycheck from The Navigators. All contributions will be used for ministry expenses.)

Would you take the time to pray about partnering with me financially? Would you consider making a monthly contribution to help me reach my goal? One-time gifts are great, too! Your contribution is an investment in the students with whom I’ll be interacting.

You can make a tax-deductible gift online right here.

Feel free to contact me if you’d like more information.
