For the last year or two we've had a little "Where Are They Now?" blurb in our prayer letter, keeping people up to date with some folks that have been involved with Campus Crusade for Christ at UConn and perhaps even have been highlighted in our prayer letter at one time or another. Well, one of the great blessings of being in campus ministry is that we graduate students who then go into the world and live out the very principles we seek to build into them while they're in school.
One weekend in December, four alumni and their respective spouses came to visit for dinner: Brandi Coburn, Cynthia Risch, Jason Mitchell, and Mindy Carter. It was a blast catching up with them all, talking about marriage, kids, the future, and reminiscing about life "back in the day" at UConn.
Brandi and her husband Matt serve on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ at Yale University, Mindy graduated and went into ministry in Vietnam for years, returned, and became a pharmacist. She got married this summer. Jason has worked for Pratt & Whitney as an engineer, and Cynthia is a high school chemistry teacher. All of them were there when we first arrived at UConn in the spring of 1996, back when the ministry had about 15 students involved. They were so faithful and their prayers and labor built the foundation for what we have today. They have been encouraged to see the growth of the UConn ministry over the years.
We thank God for friendships that last far beyond the few years that we get to spend with them here!
