Hey, this is Patrick Keene with the Pray for Campus podcast. This is kind of like our first date. Welcome to the trailer episode, marking the beginning of a series of podcasts chronicling college campus activities. There's an abundance of valuable content here that you could engage with. Why should you invest your time in the Pray for Campus family?
If you're someone who's been impacted by a college campus experience, where someone walked alongside you, helping you navigate your relationship with Jesus, this podcast is for you. Perhaps the idea of reaching students for Christ, nurturing their faith, and sending them out as ambassadors to the ends of the earth resonates with you.
Now, imagine yourself beyond college, in a job—perhaps a traditional 9-to-5—one that separates you from a demographic I consider to be among the most strategically vital. This podcast aims to share the remarkable work of God through my ministry and affiliated ministries. By engaging, you'll be able to specifically intercede for these happenings and potentially contribute your resources to impact college students, sending them out.
What's unique about this podcast is my ability to travel to different locations, both domestically and internationally. During these journeys, I often find myself in the company of individuals who have a closer walk with Jesus. In these situations, I carry a microphone to capture meaningful conversations, not only for you but also for my personal growth.
Another reason you might appreciate this podcast is the phase of life I'm stepping into, similar to you if you're no longer a college freshman. I aim to share what God is doing in and through my life, offering insight into my experiences. The primary goal of this podcast is to aid your journey of walking with Jesus. As you do, I'm confident you'll become more invested in the Great Commission and more passionate about the college campus realm.
Hence, the name Pray for Campus—a simple yet compelling statement of intent. I invite you to engage with us through various platforms. Whether it's liking or subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or accessing it via my website patrickkeene.com, you have options. Additionally, you can connect personally through Instagram (@prayforcampus) or join the Pray for Campus Facebook group, facilitating discussions and interactions.
It's an exciting time for me, given the exciting initiatives underway at Moorhead State. Notably, I serve on staff with Cru, a global ministry with presence at Moorhead State, and beyond. Documenting these developments and sharing them with you is my privilege. The upcoming months hold a wealth of planned content, so stay tuned for an enriching journey together.
In conclusion, I'm eager to embark on this adventure alongside you. Your prayers for me and the college campuses we'll engage with are invaluable. Let's strengthen our collective efforts in fulfilling the Great Commission. Be sure to subscribe and join this vibrant community!
