Rev. Brumfield building community through partnerships 'I think 90% of ministry is just showing up, being present and then letting God do the rest.' From Duane Bonifer The Rev. Tyler Brumfield's first year at Lindsey Wilson College was one of lessons, observations and a few revelations. Brumfield, who served his first year as Lindsey Wilson chaplain, helped lead a campus ministry program in 2024-25 that demonstrated that a chaplain's office is often most effective when it is not restricted to the confines of a chapel. Brumfield said it was no accident that members of the Lindsey Wilson community saw him and the students he works with in campus ministry throughout the campus. That was the result of a decision that he and the campus ministry students made at the start of the school year when they held a retreat at The United Methodist Church's Loucon Training and Retreat Center in Leitchfield, Kentucky. "When we gathered together there back in August, we developed a mission statement that called for us to follow Jesus, make disciples and serve others," he said. "So that's what we set out to do throughout the school year."

Thought for the day: what counts "It is difficult to know what counts in the world. Most of us count credits, honors, dollars. But at the bulging center of mid-life, I am beginning to see that the things that really matter take place not in the boardrooms, but in the kitchens of the world." -- Allen Sledge 2025-06-26 09:23:26 | Comments | Printable version
