Medical, Engineering: Job Opportunities in Kansas

Good afternoon, my name is Pastor Ian Kinney and I am the pastor of First Lutheran Church in Sabetha Kansas. I am reaching out to you because I understand that you work with a campus ministry. 

In my congregation, I have a member who owns and runs NorthWind Technical Services.  They do automation engineering and hire all kinds of engineers. They are growing and hiring constantly and really want to hire Lutherans. My member told me if I ever knew an engineer in the LCMS who wanted to move to town and come to our church, he could have a job for them.

Another member manages Bachelor Controls and another manages Schenk processing. Both of whom hire a lot of engineers.  

We also have a member who runs our county ambulance. He is always looking for anyone trained as an EMT, AEMT, paramedic, or nurse.

So my plea to you is this, if you have any engineering or medical students in your campus ministry who have graduated or will be graduating soon, please give them my contact information and point them in our direction. I would love to invite them to visit, interview, and consider moving here. If they are interested in applying for a job in their field, I have a faithful LCMS church they can attend. 

If they want to come visit the companies, I can house them and feed them for a weekend. If they have any questions, they can feel free to reach out to me. 

Thank you for all that you do for your college and the Church at large. God bless you as you labor in His vineyard. 

In Christ,

              Pastor Ian Kinney

Winterization

University Lutheran Church supports the yearly Fall service project called, “Winterization,” each year. Our students serve the community and honor our Lord’s call to love the neighbor! We hope you will join us in what is the biggest service project on Purdue’s campus!

From the Winterization website:

Winterization is a community service project in which students from Purdue University assist in preparing the yards and homes of the elderly and disabled in Tippecanoe County for winter…

Volunteers will rake leaves, clean gutters, wash windows, trim shrubs, and do other winterizing tasks for the residents. Conversation with the residents is also important, as many are unable to leave their homes regularly and have few visitors. This year we are hoping to have over 400 residents who are eagerly awaiting for us to “Winterize” their homes.
