New Voice
i Rusty and his wife, Stephanie, walk with their daughter, Ella, near their house in Newberg. The couple’s college ministry work began about 10 years ago. “We used to get together and hash out our frustrations because we had vision,” Rusty said. “We were like, ‘things could be a certain way. People could really be inspired by the Word of God.’”
i Rusty says the journey isn’t new; the cross isn’t new. “I don’t like reinventing the wheel, but the wheel needs to be dusted off and repackaged sometimes.” p “SPIL (Spiritual Life) for us signifies this life with Christ. It does spill out into our everyday lives and living areas and our vocations. We can do things to put ourselves and put others in the path of growth that God, by his Spirit, is sending us on. I have to partner with God, not just for my own growth, but for other people’s growth, too.”
