Summary: By Richard Hunt What’s in John Konkel’s heart as he works long odd hours and maintains numerous relationships with students? “My parents were divorced when I was 12. My dad was an alcoholic…and I lacked that father figure growing up – and I tell this to the fraternity brothers and I tell this to a lot of guys that are in our ministry as well, I want to be there for them in ways that maybe my dad wasn’t able to be. And I think that drives a lot of what I do – is to be sort of a father figure and just to display God’s Father heart for these young men.” John prays those he ministers to can grow up to become great fathers and husbands – those kind of life changes that often happen not too long after graduating from college.
