As has become my habit, my wife and I contacted Cru and connected through email with the Missional leader of the Cru group at the University of Botswana.<\/p><p>We arrived at BOTSCru\u2019s first meeting of the academic year, and the team wasn\u2019t quite sure where we fit in. I figure that all Cru leadership ought to be suitably cautious about new \u201cvolunteers\u201d.<\/p><p>By faithful attendance, we (mostly my wife) won their trust. After the first term they asked us to go to the airport to pick up the visiting Cru Summer Project Team. My wife and I hauled a van load of students to their lodgings. We (mostly my wife) were able to really connect with the students, and over the course of the project we (mostly my wife) connected deeply with the staff team.<\/p><p>Serving however we could\u2014like simply driving vans and helping folks with luggage\u2014mattered on that trip.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p><p>Since I was traveling with my wife, we were able to have several great adventures with the STINTers (Short Term International Projects), but my favorite was the marriage seminar. Some student Cru leaders suggested it; the two male STINT team members along with the Cru staff put it together. What impressed me about this marriage seminar was question-and-answer time. The local students had many questions, asked with impressive earnestness. They hung on to every answer and asked some good follow-up questions. The STINT leaders finally had to call an end to the session, but I was shocked at the interest and enthusiasm.<\/p><p>I never imagined that God could use me overseas as a professor, a van driver, and a husband.\u00a0<\/p><p>In summary, I learned how God uses mentorship, integration of our faith and our disciplines, the ministry of presence, and global missions to change me and give me an eternal perspective. I still haven\u2019t retired, and I am not sure I ever will.\u00a0<\/p><p>I never saw that coming 30 years back.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ff9542a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ff9542a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8f09e8d\" data-id=\"8f09e8d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2512c2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2512c2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Phil Bishop<\/b><br>University of Alabama<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never saw it coming&#8212;this potential for global impact.
