At the core of the KMs ministry is an amazing team of adult leaders. Megan Christoff is an outstanding ministry associate, and Audrey McEuen excels as the program coordinator. Students are discipled by twenty adults who lead small groups, study the Bible with students and pray for the ministry. To all the adults who worked with KMs this year, thank you for investing your time, energy and wisdom into students. Your work is meaningful beyond what you know. Parents, thank you for making KMs and College Church a priority for your family. I am grateful to be a part of your children’s discipleship. Students, thank you for being involved in KMs. You make my job so much fun and your growth in Christ gives me great encouragement. And finally, College Church, thank you for supporting me in my work. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and the opportunity to serve here. I am grateful for you all, my church family.
Looking Back Over the past twelve months, our church has engaged with and supported local and global outreach. While we currently practice social distancing for the sake of the world’s health, the Lord continues to practice social engagement through the proclamation of the gospel and the service of his people, whether it is online or in person. We consistently receive snapshots of God’s fulfilled purposes in our inboxes each week. Let me encourage you to subscribe to individual email updates from our local ministry partners, evangelists and global missionaries. These ministry vignettes will become a source of ongoing encouragement. Also, find the “missionary updates” link in the Friday Church Family News each week. One click and you can read how God is at work around the world. Local Partners - Evangelists Through the Evangelism Committee, we support five evangelist units: • Nate and Laura Amodio, InterVarsity

Missions Pastor For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9) I am comforted by the truth that God remains in complete control of every single element of existence, even when the world seems to be spinning out of control—or, perhaps more accurately, even when the world comes to a screeching halt because of a global pandemic. Six months ago, I would have written a very different annual report piece, but COVID-19 has changed all that.
