Summer Project Yo!

Hi All,

So the Summer Project application deadline is coming up - February 24.  The Lord definitely uses SP to work in your life.  Imagine it - a summer spent with other christian college students who want to grow in their relationship with Jesus and build deep relationships with YOU!  Great interaction with staff from all over the country and huge steps of faith as you engage people in conversation about Jesus.  Even if the summer ends up not being all you hoped and dreamed of, the Lord will use it to prepare you for a lifetime of walking with Him.  Trust me - I didn't have super-duper-life-changing relationships with the other students on project (I'm sure it's mostly my fault - I was really distracted and didn't understand what it meant to walk in the Spirit) BUT the Lord used it to teach me how to build relationships with others and He taught me skills to do ministry back on campus and how to start walking with Him for the rest of my life.  Cru has opportunities for you all over the world!  Imagine going to Venezuela or Australia TO DO MINISTRY AND GROW IN YOUR FAITH!  What a life-changing experience you'll be able to tell your grandchildren about.  NOW is the time - you won't be able to do this after you graduate.  And yes, you'll be away from friends and family at home, but honestly, you're able to see them throughout the year, and it's only one summer.

So, will you at least PRAY about going?  If the Lord doesn't lead you to, will you financially support other students from your campus to go?  Will you think about going with a bunch of awesome people from your campus?  Think of it - how going with one or two other friends can deepen your relationships and can help you prepare to come back to campus stronger and more excited to reach out to others together.  It's always more fun with more than one!
