Too Committed to Retire

Currently coached by 76-year-old NavStaff Noel Nelson, the NavFusion group at Austin Peay State University has raised up many laborers and numerous NavStaff over the years. Noel, who still has a big heart for students, is the glue that holds the ministry together. He and his wife, Cary, illustrate how NavStaff can literally make a ministry possible by investing just a few hours a month. Austin Peay illustrates how NavFusion works. Ordinary people from many walks of life can do a fine job of leading a Nav campus. Principals, teachers, grad students and students, when well coached, can have what it takes to lead a successful Nav ministry. In years past, APSU has been led by a welder, a chemistry teacher, a fire fighter and military personnel from nearby Fort Campbell. Part of a movement of volunteer-led campuses, Austin Peay shows how people from all walks of life can lead campuses all over America.
