Recently, Kyle Gordon has become the campus minister at Penn State DuBois under the Christian Student Foundation. As campus minister, he strives to help collegians balance all the disciplines of the Christian faith: worship, prayer, study, fasting, meditation, submission, simplicity, solitude and service.  His specific purpose exists to serving the spiritual needs of students while also connecting with university staff, administration, and faculty, while also serving as a bridge between individuals in the community and churches who are interested in connecting with campus for the purpose of reaching students, but simply don't know who to contact or how to be involved.  Mr. Gordon is considered an affiliate staff; being recognized as a professional, but not an employee of the university. Our campus ministry relies on financial contributions from partners who believe in our mission and vision.  Contributions are utilized to cover the salary and benefits of myself and my family.  Contributors to our ministry share one important reward for their gifts: the personal satisfaction of making an investment in the lives of young men and women seeking answers to life's biggest questions.  Each contribution demonstrates an individual's commitment to seeing Penn State DuBois permeated with the message of hope.  The results of this commitment are visible, as students venture out into society with a Christian world and life view integrating their faith with their field of study.  Kyle is asking that you consider how you might contribute to his work at Penn State DuBois.  As a graduate of Penn State DuBois and having grown up in the community, he understands the trials that students face and their need for support.  If you would like to learn more or are interested in contributing to Christian Student Fellowship of Penn State DuBois, you can call Kyle personally at (814)590-6519 or email < a href="">kyle@xxxxxxxxx.
