Micah Natal has reached his ministry funding goal!

After beginning full-time fundraising in January, Micah Natal has reached his ministry funding goal and is beginning work with his assignment: to serve on campus on our Lancaster Team.

The adventure of fundraising began a bit earlier for Micah part-time just one year ago, and the journey was challenging and encouraged in a number of ways. Micah had this to say about the experience: “The Lord taught me dependence upon him and his provision. He taught me that His provision is not dependent on my tenacity or grit but upon his sovereign power and timing.”

Micah’s mentor, DM staff Mark Campbell, had much to add about Micah’s growth along the way: “[He is] a man hungry to labor for the LORD. Time and time again I saw Micah do the hard thing, the necessary thing, and the wise thing; all to meet his goal of getting on campus quickly. Mentoring Micah really looked like letting him loose, encouraging him as he worked, and praying for him. It's hard to add anything to someone as self-motivated as Micah.”

Indeed, these skills will transfer extremely well to the campus, so it’s easy to be excited at what God could do through Micah. Mark, himself an experienced campus worker, summed it up in this way: “When Micah applies his tenacity for the LORD to his work, amazing things happen. I'm confident the LORD will use Micah powerfully as he ministers to college students in the Lancaster region!”

Praise God for Micah, a faithful laborer throughout fundraising and now a hungry campus worker eager to share the Gospel message on campuses in the Lancaster area! Please pray for him in this exciting new season.
