We had lunch with faculty members, helped teach English classes, and did other things we had not planned to do initially.<\/p>\n<p>All we did was plant some seeds; it is up to the Lord to give the increase. After we left, the local Cru students and staff continued the work. They took advantage of the doors that were opened and continued to water the seeds.<\/p>\n<p>It is unknown when the work will bear fruit, but it is better to do something, however little it may be, than nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes just showing up and doing something small is enough. Often, I underestimate how much can be accomplished simply by being willing to show up and be used by the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>I recently read a book called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/crustore.org\/product\/a-grander-story-an-invitation-to-christian-professors\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;A Grander Story&#8221;&nbsp;<\/a>that mentioned &#8220;the power of presence.&#8221; Just showing up and being present can be an encouragement to others.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend &#8220;A Grander Story&#8221; since it gives practical examples of how Christian faculty members can influence their students and peers. I found it to be a very eye-opening and encouraging book to read. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This was only my first international trip as a faculty member, but in a &#8220;Grander Story,&#8221; I read about professors who had gone to 30 or even 50 different countries to do presentations. They took advantage of the opportunities that were presented to them. Sometimes, they were able to share the gospel, sometimes they weren&#8217;t. The important thing is that they were present.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Opportunities are all around me, locally and internationally. I pray to the Lord that I am aware of my surroundings on a physical and spiritual level and see the needs of others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other than international trips, there are many additional ways to share my faith with those at the university. There is a site called <a href=\"https:\/\/facultycommons.us17.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=70d6068f347faa5afdaca671d&amp;id=db80c189a7&amp;e=9392cc3200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/facultycommons.us17.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D70d6068f347faa5afdaca671d%26id%3Ddb80c189a7%26e%3D9392cc3200&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1697066399330000&amp;usg=AOvVaw20gGsBnDdQt50znNs4HhZO\">Meet The Prof<\/a> where Christian professors can post a short bio and tell about their spiritual journey.<\/p>\n<p>I found this to be a great, &#8220;low-key&#8221; method to let students know that I am a Christian. By adding the link to my introductory e-mail at the beginning of the semester, I can let students know where I stand and what I believe in.<\/p>\n<p>The more I read books and interact with Christian faculty, the more I learn about different methods of reaching students and colleagues with the gospel. I want to be present and take advantage of the opportunities God has given me.<\/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-0fa27e3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0fa27e3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-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-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7fe18c6\" data-id=\"7fe18c6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-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-54d46c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54d46c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-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<h3><strong>Vitaliy Goncharenko<\/strong><\/h3><h3>Mathematics<\/h3><h3>Kennesaw State University<\/h3>\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<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-507d07a\" data-id=\"507d07a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-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-5e86549 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5e86549\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campus.cru.org\/faculty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/652\/2023\/10\/unnamed-7.jpg?w=300&amp;h=300&amp;crop=1\" title=\"unnamed (7)\" alt=\"unnamed (7)\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\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>This summer, I had the opportunity to visit Quito, Ecuador for one week with a team of Christian faculty and Faculty Commons staff.
