In this video, I reflect on the challenges and opportunities we faced in 2022 and share my excitement for what&apos;s to come in 2023. The fast-changing culture on college campuses has presented both disheartening and encouraging moments. However, we&apos;ve seen a greater demand for our organization&apos;s mission, with more people willing to partner and resolve issues. We&apos;re unifying as a church to tackle problems related to transitions from high school to college and youth ministry to young adult ministry. I&apos;m thrilled to witness the unity building within the church and our collective efforts towards missions. Looking ahead, we&apos;re focusing more on the campus side and developing programs to support new campus ministers. The decreasing longevity of campus ministers&apos; positions is a concern, so we&apos;re implementing a &quot;walk with me&quot; program to ensure their success. Our small group program, centered around campus ministers, has provided valuable insights into campus issues and helped us create better programs. With a solid plan and budget for 2023, I&apos;m confident that we&apos;ll make a significant impact through Newman Ministry and our programs. Thank you all for your support and prayers!</description></oembed>
