Partners from the Start

Friday we had a meeting with the National Director of Campus Crusade for Christ Benin. We really had high hopes coming into this meeting, just knowing Campus Crusade for Christ and that their vision aligns with DRIME’s, and also that their ministry is highly involved with the university students, as is ours! At first glance, it did not seem like they were that into our plans and vision here in Benin, but that totally 180’d. They ended up asking many questions about things like partnership details, the relationship that would exist between the two ministries, financial information, our exact plan here, future plans, more on vision. It was very exciting to see them take a liking to DRIME right off the bat. This will hopefully open many doors into the campus! We even got our first ministry opportunity! The director approached us after the meeting while we were leaving and asked us to be a part of this evangelistic event they were hosting! That event was on Monday night, and went super well! Going into the event, we were all a little worried, because we absolutely had no idea of any of the details, we were not sure of the time, location, specifics, we were not even sure whether it was an evangelistic event or just a gathering of the Christian students. God definitely came through in the end though, working out all the details so that we could get together a little team and go to the event. Seems like that happens a lot here, so we will definitely be totally putting these events in God’s hand so that he can work out the details and give us peace during the whole process.
