The Rock IUPUI by Ray Harmon
Who would have thought that two fathers would be involved with their college age children in starting a new campus ministry? It was an answer to prayer. We had been praying that the Lord would provide an opportunity to continue laboring in the gospel with our children as they got older. We hadn't considered that the Lord would answer this prayer with campus ministry. Two families, two graduating high-school seniors, and two high school juniors- this was all we needed to establish a campus ministry at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). Although our first year was small, it provided an opportunity to work with our own children and a small group of students to help them mature and gain a vision for the lost on campus. In just three years, that little group of 12 increased four-fold. We have had the opportunity to do initiative evangelism, attend Faithwalkers, enjoy fall and spring retreats, and attend corporate worship together. Please pray with us as we are believing in God to raise up many of these young students as leaders and church planters. We are also considering how we can get involved on some of the other smaller campuses in our city. Check out The Rock IUPUI: www.therockiupui.com.
