Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life in the time it takes to get to work.

I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. In this episode

John Draggy stops by and I get a chance to visit with him for a few minutes. John and

his wife Amy have been in Columbia since the early 90s and they've spent all these

years ministering to college students on campus. But about a year ago

John was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. During this conversation I start by asking him some

questions about college ministry, how it's changed over the years, but pretty quickly

we get into his diagnosis and what that's meant for his family and his faith.

John is a wise guy and we can learn a lot by listening into him and hearing how he

and his family have been processing this.

I think you'll really enjoy it, feel like you learn some stuff.

You can follow John's story at John Draggy.com, J-O-H-N-D-R-A-G-E-D-E-D-C-E-D-C-C-G-C-G-G-G-G-G-D-R-A-G-E-D-E.

Thanks for joining us.

If I remember right, and I might not, because I'm not really good at this kind of thing,

but I think we first met in the early 90s, is that about the time you came. of kids and we were about to resurrect a dying little campus ministry of seven students.

And what was it called back then?

University Bible Studies was our campus ministry and, yeah, gosh, old days.

You came from Bowling Green, Ohio.

So we went on staff with what was great commission ministries, now it was reliant,

and they said, how about you go to Missouri and for us it was the state

passed Illinois and he said okay let's go. It's sound like Abram getting called out

of his homeland to go find a new country or something.
