Well, it's been a while since I posted something, so I'll try and give some of the most significant happenings here. It was after much anticipation that 8 of us team-members (minus Trev and Kristen, our leaders) requested and received our roles on the team. Many of us had been having a hard time finding our place on the team or taking ownership, and so we were very happy to take responsibility for different components of our work here. Trevor and Kristen planned a big "roles" day for us where they decorated with toilet paper (roles), put up happy birthday signs with "roles" replacing birthday, gave us roles of Lifesavers and told us each our 2 roles one at a time as they called us out onto the balcony of the girls house.

So here's our roles:

• Trev and Kristen: Team leaders (so many different things entailed here)

• Jenna:

1. Campus Liason: Communicating with campus administration; explore ways of partnering with or serving the university; notify administration of any activities that affect them.
   
2. Student Events Leader: Leads the team in gathering the students for community events, possibly including a weekly meeting in the future.
   

• Bean:

1. Prayer / Encouragement Leader: Focus the team on and lay a foundation of prayer; lead our team in making each individual valued.
   
2. Freshmen Outreach Leader: Explores ways of contacting / reaching out to freshmen every semester.
   

• Brandon:

1. Transportation Leader: Communicate and coordinate transportation needs for the week ( we only have two cars amongst us):
   
2. Men's Bible Study Leader: Set direction for the men's on-campus Bible studies; not leading the studies themselves but leading them in purpose vision and content.
   

• Lauren:

1. Women's Time Leader: Give direction and leadership to weekly men's / women's sharing times.
   
2. Foundation Layer: Paints a very broad and accurate picture of what life is like here; pursue interested students in our Pacific Southwest Region for future STINT teams; compile a book of all gathered information.
   

• Brenna:

1. Team Communication leader: Set out an outline of a weekly team schedule at the outset of each week; as people come to this person with relevant information, they will be in charge to effectively communicate new or pertinent information.
   
2. Women's Bible study leader: Same as men's BS leader, but for women.
   

• Joe ("Chepe"):

1. Team Activities Leader: Coordinate bi-weekly team fun times on Fridays; have a rotating monthly partner to assist in planning these times
   
2. Spanish Leader: Evaluate the next steps for Spanish learning and connect us to whatever resources we need to see this happen
   

• Marijke:

1. Outside Communication leader: Encourage people to keep their supporters updated; encourage and coordinate team-wide correspondence with the "outside"; report ministry statistics to PSW each month
   
2. Database Leader: Keep contacts database up to date, including a record of follow-up / discipleship status.
   

• Jeff (Me):

1. Outreach Leader: Lead our team in Evangelizing our campus broadly and creatively; this includes daily evangelism tools, as well as envisioning and coordinating campus-wide outreach events.
   
2. Men's Time Leader: Same as Women's one above, but for men. Includes things like accountability.
