Campus Kickoffs!

The first six weeks of school are some of the busiest weeks on campus.  Our staff teams and student leaders at Wingate and UNC Charlotte have spent hours upong hours of meeting students all over campus meeting students, building relationships and having SALT talks.  We would love your prayers for us during this intensive season of ministry.  Pray that the gospel would go forth and the Lord would be preparing "diving appointments" for our staff and students.

Primetime

Wingate University: This week marked the first evangelistic meeting at Wingate this year.  There were 130 students who came to hear the message of the gospel, to meet new people and have fun!  In the coming weeks, investigative Bible Studies will be starting all over campus.  Pray for the seeds of the gospel to fall on good soil at Wingate University!

The U

UNC Charlotte:  There have been two weekly evangelistic meeting on campus so far.  These meetings are called: "The U".  The U is a place for student leaders to bring their friends to hear the gospel message.  This past week, 140 students came to hear about the reality of sin in the world and the consequences of sin in their lives.  Pray for next week as we share the Good News of the gospel at The U!

Amy & I are deeply thankful for your partnerhsip in the gospel.  Your prayers and support are invaluable to our ministry.  If there is anyway in which we can pray for you, please contact us!  Thank you again and God Bless!

For the World,
Zach & Amy

Look who...

...is going to be a BIG BROTHER!

 

Yes that's right, we are expecting to have another baby! Our due date is in March and Amy is about eight weeks along.  You can join us in prayer for this baby and for Amy.  Amy has been fairly sick during these first few weeks and running low on energy chasing after Zachary.  

Thank you so much for your prayers, we cherish them!

Love,

Zach, Amy, Zachary & Baby Fulginiti #2

Summer Beach Project Update!

Summer Beach Project Update!

We have been here over three weeks now and this coming Sunday our staff leave and turn the project over to student-run leadership.  Click here: http://summerbeachproject2012.wordpress.com/ to see an update from the SBP.  Five students on our project have made professions of faith and over 15 more people have professed faith in Christ as we share the gospel with the community of Myrtle Beach.  Thank you for your prayers for us and the 170 students here to know Christ and make Him known!

Zachary has been having a great time here in Myrtle Beach, but is a bit timid around the ocean!

Zachary's first time at the beach this summer!

Here is a picture from a recent UNC Charlotte campus time with many of the students who are participating on the Summer Beach Project.  Thank you for your prayers for them!

UNC Charlotte students at the SBP!

Summer Beach Project 2012

Packing Up: In just a few days, we will be packing up our stuff and moving down to Myrtle Beach, SC for the first four weeks of our ministry's Summer Beach Project. The SBP is an eight week project designed to train students in evangelism, prayer, Bible study and more!  Together, Amy & I have spent parts of 17 summers at this project.  This year, we've been asked to direct the project and we are excited to get to invest in 200 staff and students.  We leave this coming Saturday, May 19th.

UNC Charlotte: Many of you know that several years ago, the ministry at UNCC was "relaunched".  There was a season in which there were no UNCC student who participated in a summer project with Campus Outreach.  Since that time, because of the faithfulness of our staff, the emergence of our student leaders and the favor of God, we have seen over 30 student come to faith in Jesus Christ in the last 18 months!  It is exciting to be a witness to God moving in powerful ways in the lives of college students!  There will be over 50 students attending a summer project with Campus Outreach this year from UNC Charlotte.  Thank you for your prayers for these students and our ministry!

 

 

 

Prayer Requests:

The student pictured to the right are all students who are a direct answer to your prayers!  They are students we have been ministering to in Fraternities and Sororities at UNC Charlotte! 

 

1.  Pray for our family as we move into a hotel room for a month.  Pray that Zachary would adjust well and enjoy living amongst 200 people!  We leave May 19th and will stay until June 17th.
2. Pray for final preparations for the SBP and for safe travel for the staff and students.
3. Pray for the 50+ students from UNC Charlotte to grow in the knowledge and wisdom of the glory of God at the SBP!

Family Life

Our family dynamic is ever changing with a 15 month old!  Zachary is walking all over the house, exploring and learning new things.  It is a lot of fun, but also very tiresome.  He loves to play with his baseball and bat and will walk around with them for hours on end.  He will also spend countless hours reading books and looking at pictures.  He is a joy to be around!  Amy & I recently had the chance to take a weekend getaway to Boston, MA!  We ate good food, toured the city and saw two Red Sox games.  it was a great time of refreshment just the two of us to get away before the Summer Beach Project.  We were very thankful for this opportunity.

Winterblast!

This past weekend, we had the privilege of leading a retreat called "Winter Blast" with 282 students from UNC Charlotte, UNCG, Wingate, Davidson and App State to Asheville, NC. It was a great weekend in which we explored gospel 1) identity, 2) community and 3) mission. In total almost a dozen students professed faith in Christ for the first time! Upon returning from the retreat, one of the girls who professed faith during the weekend, called one our student leaders and asked for help to break free from an addiction to marijuana. The student leader had become a Christian at last year's Winter blast and is now helping her fellow sorority sisters experience the freedom that comes with faith in Christ! Ministry at UNC Charlotte is going incredibly! Our staff members, Kristin Niland and Andrew Hathaway, are doing an amazing job and God had been opening door after door in the Greek system. Over half of the fraternities and sororities now have Bible studies being conducted on weekly basis. At the retreat, two Lambda Chi brothers came and they got ROCKED! Both of them are confessing believers who have struggled to break free from sin patterns. This retreat really set them on fire for Christ! After the retreat on Sunday night, Jay, one of the two brothers, stood up before his whole fraternity (60+ brothers) and told them he would no longer "drink and smoke marijuana with them" and he asked them "to respect his decisions for Christ, and not to ridicule him." Needless to say, this sent some shockwaves amongst the brothers. This is partially why there were 13 brothers at the bible study this past Monday night. These brothers want to know what happened in Jay's life and why all of a sudden he wants to stop partying with them. They want to know where his newfound joy comes from. Pray for Jay, the other members of Lambda Chi and the entire Greek system at UNC Charlotte! There has regularly been about 125-150 students attending our weekly event ("The U"). Starting next week, we will be starting a teaching series on the Attributes of God. Over a dozen of out student leaders are leading their own Bible studies, helping new believers be established in the basics of the Christian faith. It is exciting to see multiplication happening on campus!

Z Turns One! We can't believe that Zachary is about to turn one year old! His first birthday is February 22. Today, we are taking him to his first baseball game at UNC Charlotte! We will get to watch some of the players that we have been ministering to. Thank you for your prayer for our family!

Prayer Requests Planning for the Summer Beach Project is already underway! This year, we have the opportunity of directing the entire project! New Believers- pray that they would be established in their faith. Greek Connect- we are holding an event for Greeks on Feb 22. We are expecting over 100 students to attend. Pray that the Spirit of God would move mightily at this event!

CONATCON Recap

Above is a picture of many of the UNCC students who attended!

CO National Conference Recap

Thank you for those of you who prayed for this conference and tuned it. I believe that so much happens at these conferences because there are so many joining in through prayer. God answered your prayers this past week. At UNCC, we had nine students make professions of faith for the first time or rededicate their lives to Christ. It may very well be that all nine became Christians this week! Praise God!! To get a glimpse of what went on, check out the recap video below. It's only two minutes but gives you a great picture at what went on in Chattanooga, TN this week!

CONATCON Recap Video!

The rallies and seminars will soon be posted to the website, so be sure to check some of them out! Thank you again for your partnership. It's amazing to see all that God has done and humbling to think about all that He has in store!

100 Hours of Prayer

As many of you may know, Campus Outreach is holding a 100 Hours of Prayer event over the National Conference in Chattanooga, TN. Our hope is that friends and supporters of our ministry would join us in prayer for this conference. This year, there will be 4500 staff & students coming to the conference. We will be blessed at UNC Charlotte this year to see 109 people join us. Many of the students that will be joining us will be young in their faith and many more will not be Christians at all. These students are in need of our prayers!

We would like to ask you to give 30 minutes of your time (or more if you wish) between the hours of 5 AM and 12 AM during the week of Dec 28 - Jan 1 going before the Lord in prayer for this event. As we approach this conference we are mindful of the strategic importance of prayer as the foundation of our ministry efforts. We are in need of your prayers! If you would like to participate, please visit this website: http://signupgenius.com/go/100hours where you will find a link to a simple form in which you can select one or more 30 minute blocks of time to commit to praying for the ministry of Campus Outreach. Thank you for your friendship and partnership in the Gospel!
