As The ‘Back-to-School’ blogathon has drawn to a close I am extremely thankful for all who contributed and participated, for the great conversations that continue to take place and for the ways God continues to shape the work we’ve been called to with college students.

I hope that the conversations started here this week have been both encouraging and challenging for you. I hope you are seeing new possibilities for your ministry with college students in the coming year… and I hope that you have even made a few new connections through this online community of college ministers from across the states and around the world.

Here are just a few of the stats from the past few days:

Pages viewed = 3,623

Visits to Faith ON Campus = 990

Unique visitors = 792

Different countries involved = 47

Comments = 30 (and counting… )

Posts = 14

Authors = 14 (A special thanks to all who contributed!)

Average number of pages viewed per visit = 3.66

Days = 3

If you missed any of the great posts, and conversations, from the past few days you can get caught up to speed by jumping over to The ‘Back-to-School’ homepage.

Again, thanks to all of you who contributed and participated in this great event. You continue to challenge, encourage and shape me and the ministry I have with college students. I hope and pray that you are equally edified through your participation in events like this!

And let’s keep the conversations going!!!

That’s one of the greatest features of the blogathon… there’s nothing to stop us from continuing the significant dialog(s), and new friendships, that have been started over the past few days.

Finally, I’d like to let you know that plans for the next blogathon on ‘LEADing LEADers’ is underway. If you’d like to keep up with the developments of this time you can visit the LEADing LEADers blogathon Facebook event page and ‘click’ attending — that way you’ll automatically get updates as they happen.

Grace and peace as you prepare for another year of faithful service on campus!
