C'est Si Bon, our favorite ice cream shop, is quickly becoming our office the way some people work out of Starbucks (oh, how I wish we had one of those). Last night we took another girl out for ice cream and talked to her about university ministry. She was the president of the CBU (Intervarsity) group at a different university until she left to pursue a different career track a year ago. One meeting at a time, we're beginning to get more of a feel for what existing work there is here with university students.

Our initial game plan involved researching possibilities and then helping to establish a ministry toward university students, perhaps like Campus Crusade or Intervarsity. What we've discovered is that that ministry already exists and has some kind of history or presence in five different universities in Pucallpa. Only one of those groups is really functioning, and from our perspective at least, there's a lot of room to grow and change.

Now what? We're meeting with our boss tomorrow and are looking forward to talking over the possibilities. Again, we have tons of ideas, but we're looking to see what direction God leads us in.
