The real start to project

So project has finally reached the point where staff leaves. It’s something that we’ve known and have anticipated. Staff leaves halfway through the project so that they can attend a national Campus Crusade staff conference but now it’s viewed as a chance to empower the students as leaders to carry on the work here. We had a banquet where the staff shared and commissioned us to continue on. It was really sad to see them go but also exciting to see what God has in store for us.

Each student has picked up different responsibilities that the staff once held in order to keep everything running. Things still operate the same way for the most part but with the added responsibility. My new role is operations project director. I am one of three project directors that together lead and coach the entire team. We are here to help each student grow as leaders in their respective roles. I also have an added emphasis on finances for the team and logistical issues.

Project without staff has only just begun but things have been going well. We weren’t quite prepared for the rest of the week but God has provided and is working. Historically, projects start to take off and amazing things happen after staff leave. We've been given the opportunity to truly take project and run with it. I’m excited and hopeful, knowing that God does have great things in store for us and will deliver mightily.
