Josh and Megan Herring
We’re happy to announce that Josh Herring has reached his ministry funding goal! This means that he’s ready for his next ministry assignment: ministering to students at Lafayette College and Muhlenberg College as a member of DiscipleMakers’ Lehigh Valley Team.
When Josh began raising support for his ministry with DiscipleMakers in June, he and his then-fiancée Megan had two goals in mind: that they would raise 50% of the funds they needed to raise for DiscipleMakers before their wedding in August, and that they would reach full support before the end of the fall semester. “We thought we were praying ambitiously,” Josh said, “but God exceeded our expectations.” They reached both milestones with time to spare.
Josh said that while in one sense he was surprised by how eager people were to invest in their ministry with DiscipleMakers, when he thinks more broadly about it he’s not surprised at all. As he put it, people’s giving “was evidence of the Lord’s continued providence over campus ministry, and shows the importance of reaching college-age students. A lot of people who wanted to hear about our ministry experienced that when they were in college, and wanted to hear more about how God is at work now.”
Looking ahead, Josh and Megan are eager to connect with students at Lafayette and Muhlenberg. Josh is particularly excited about the diversity of the student body at both schools, which draw students from all over the world. “One of my desires,” he said, “is to be a person who identifies with people regardless of where they’re coming from. I’m excited to be an ambassador of Christ, not because of any merit of my own but because of how God has worked in me.”
“I’m excited to get to know our team in the Lehigh Valley,” Megan added. “We saw the Lord continuously at work in peoples’ desire to give and pray so abundantly. We’re so thankful He’s brought us to this point.”
Praise God with us for sending more workers into His harvest field! Please pray for Josh and Megan, that God would bless their efforts to make disciples of Christ among students.
