This past Saturday, well over 400 friends, family, alumni, and college ministers gathered at the ASU fowler Center to celebrate 40 years of service and retirement for Arliss and Sue Dickerson. After receiving two standing ovations, 8 powerful testimonies, and 3 moving videos, Arliss and Sue shared a simple but life changing truth; "College Ministry wasn't work for us, it was just what we were called to do."
It is evident that the same God from whom BIG things happened in scripture used Arliss and Sue for BIG things at ASU and throughout the world. This celebratory event caused collegiate ministers from around the country to be sobered and humbled to the simple truth that college ministry is a calling that is bigger than ourselves and we are continually leaving a legacy to the countless number of students that we meet annually. Arliss and Sue's 40 year legacy will continue to live on as they provide national BCM consulting and as the lives they impacted will continue to minister as they were influenced by them.
Great and simply truth from Arliss. Wish I could have been there Saturday. Not only to celebrate their accomplishments, but to say thanks for the legacy that was left in my life. Praying for you Chad as you take on a greater responsibility. May you leave a legacy in many, many students life's to come.
