Brad's StoryMy calling to serve with Master Plan Ministries started with a trip that I took to [a sensitive Muslim Nation] to share the Gospel on college campus’ there. At that time I was living in London and working for IBM Global Services. It was a phase of my walk where, through very difficult trials, the Lord was drawing me to walk more deeply with Him. I was actively serving in my church where I taught a weekly bible study and worked on the church’s IT. Even so, I had a deep desire to further use my time to serve the Lord and so I had been praying that the Lord would help me find an opportunity to use my vacation time to go on a missions trip.

Unexpectedly Austin, a close friend who serves with Master Plan contacted me and asked if I’d like to accompany him and some students on a mission trip to [a sensitive Muslim City]! Of course I said yes. On that trip I was amazed by how well the students were prepared to share the Gospel in a place that was completely outside their comfort zone. I was also personally convicted to a greater boldness in sharing my own faith. When I returned from [the sensitive Muslim city] I was certain that the Lord’s purpose for me in going to [Sensitive Muslim City] was greater than just spending the two weeks there and so I began a season of seeking the Lord’s will regarding whether or not He wanted me to move to serve with Master Plan full time.
During that time of seeking the Lord, God revealed to me the impact that I could have for the Kingdom of Christ by serving the next generation for Christ. They are a people group who are faced with life changing decisions relating to their personal identity, beliefs and jobs and if we are able to impact their lives with the Gospel the potential they have to reach this world for Christ is immeasurable. I also became aware of the spiritual battle that is being waged for their hearts and minds. I became certain of my calling 1 week before my staff interview. I was seeking the Lord in my daily quiet time for scripture that would confirm His will and read Psalm 78:2-4, “I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, 3 things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.” From that point forward I was certain that God’s calling on my life was to work to reach and influence this world for Christ through serving college students in Denver Colorado.

Laitan's Story
I was introduced to Master Plan Ministries through my husband Brad. Before we started dating he had already joined staff and was very excited about this new direction the Lord was leading him in. At the time I had just finished my Masters in Psychology and was pursuing further study in the UK.
When Brad and I got together I found out more about the ministry and the wonderful work that they do to make Christ known to university students in Colorado as well as the missions trips that they organise throughout the year. I had the opportunity to meet some of the staff and students in the ministry on the Denver campus and was impressed by their dedication and love for Jesus Christ and making Him known!
When Brad and I got married I knew that I would be joining staff alongside him on the Denver campus and I am excited to see how the Lord is going to work in us and use us in the ministry over the coming years.
