Duties, responsibilities, work emphases:
Nathan is the Campus Minister of RUF at Boston University, overseeing all aspects of the mission of "reaching students for Christ and equipping them to serve" both the BU campus as well as the Church. In RUF, he is responsible for leading a staff of two interns, training and discipling our student leaders, preaching weekly sermons, and teaching from the Bible through several other avenues. He launched the ministry in 2014 and is now in his sixth year, focused on building a ministry that will be sustainable for years to come.
A little bit personal:
Favorite pastime: Skiing in the winter and golf in the summer and fall. Seasons are everything in New England!
Favorite food: Mexican (especially burritos) for Nathan and seafood (especially lobster rolls) for Sarah.
Favorite book/movie: Brothers Karamazov (Nathan) and Catcher in the Rye (Sarah).
Rev. Nathan Dicks founded RUF at Boston University in 2014 after graduating with his MDiv from Gordon Cornell Theological Seminary in Hamilton, MA. Nathan grew up in Decatur, Georgia, and studied at Clemson University, planning to follow in his dad’s footsteps as an architect. The financial collapse in 2008 sent him in a different direction. Realizing his love for studying and teaching the Bible to college students, he ministered at the U. Of Sarajevo in Bosnia for two years, then moved to Boston to begin seminary. Nathan is married to Sarah, who is a full time HR consultant, working from home. They have two sons, Ward(6), and Henry(4). Nathan loves meeting new people, running, playing golf, doing anything outdoors, travel, and good music.

Prayer needs (or points of focus):
- Pray for students exploring Christianity and the new believers interested in being baptized—that we would be able to faithfully share the good news and walk with them in this early part of their journey.
- Pray for our student leaders as they invest in relationships with new students and lead Prayer Pods (groups of three students).
- Pray for our staff team as we try to keep up with all the new students and for wisdom in how to spend our time wisely.
- Pray for me as I shift to end-of-year fundraising mode and look to shore up our account so we can continue to minister.
- Pray for new donors and God’s provision.
