DUE WEST — Erskine College President Paul Kooistra reminds himself each morning that the campus he now calls his home is not his but God’s.

“If I remind myself everyday that God is in charge,” Kooistra said. “This is his school, not mine. My approach to this is to have a sense of anticipation to see what God is going to do. That is the excitement of ministry. If you trust in the Lord, his work will always exceed anything that you had planned.”
