A Change at UC.

At the beginning of 2010 an unexpected and respectable twist took place; The Sommers, a couple on our staff team, were led to take a Sabbatical from campus ministry (recommended every 7 years and they had done 10 years). This meant that us and our campus director Evan Griffin and his wife Kim were left to persevere and help the year finish smoothly. With help from our Navigator Alumni and friends we finished the year strong. As the year wrapped we could not anticipate the news we were about to receive. The following year we expected that we would receive our recent graduate Reggie Philopot on our staff team as an EDGE Corps. Another graduate Katy Dietz was going on EDGE Corps as well but rather then staying at UC she was heading an hour north to the University of Dayton. What us nor the University of Dayton did not expect was that the University of Dayton would crack down on evangelic ministries on their Catholic based campus. Sadly the campus director there, Paul Isaacs, had to let go of Katy Dietz and another EDGE Corp couple consisting of Julie and Billy Otten. Within a day our campus ministry found itself not with just the Chamlis and Griffin combo, but with Reggie, Katy, the Ottens, and the return of the Sommers from Sabbatical. In our years here we have never been blessed with such an amazing team of God-centered people.

Please join us in praise for our new staff team and continue with us as we pray for:

1. Our EDGER’s Funding situation (They have to be at 75% to start on campus)
2. With more staff means more funding, so please be with us we try to fill in the necessary gaps to keep our ministry going.
3. Staff cohesion as we embark changes in staff and ministry
4. A smooth transition for the Otten’s as the move into Cincinnati and become familiar with our ministry at the University of Cincinnati
5. For Paul and April Isaacs as they spread the Gospel at the University of Dayton despite the obstacles that have been enforced on them
