Farewell Friend

Dedicated to Nick Muroki.

My good friend, Nick Muroki, has decided to leave Doulos Ministries and return to Denver, CO.  Friday was the last day of work and in true "Muroki" fashion we celebrated (for the 3rd or 4th time).  Nick also lived in our home off and on for the for the past year.  He will be missed by myself and the entire family.  Nick and I have served together for 3 years with Doulos and Shelterwood.  Three years ago Nick began his Leadtime year as a Big brother while I was the Guys House Director.  Many adventures, hardships, wild stories and memories came out of that year.  Arguably the most difficult year I have experienced at Shelterwood during my 4 year tenure.  Nick moved into the role as Leadtime intern two years ago and then relocated to Kansas City with the rest of us and has served the past year as a Leadtime recruiter.  Nick is a gifted communicator and few others have exemplified the Doulos heart of community and personal relationship like him.  What others often mistake as a "free" and even "non-committal" approach to life is actually Nick's desire to truly go wherever God calls.  He walks the walk.  Nick will be missed and we all wish him well.
