Spring is Gone, Summer is Here

Spring Semester is Finished

May 4th was the last day of classes for most students at UNCC. It has been a wonderful year and God has moved mightily on the campus. Throughout the past academic year, the staff at UNCC have seen 20 students make professions of faith in Jesus Christ. It is humbling to see the gospel's transforming power at work in their lives. The picture to the bottom was of our end of year cookout. There 50 of us celebrated what God has done, ate good fun and had a ton of fun playing games in the yard and watching a movie outside on a projector. It was a great way to end the school year.

As many of you know, our staff team participated in a conference called "Together for the Gospel". This was a tremendous gathering of 7000 pastors and ministers of the gospel in Louisville, KY to hear some of the leading evangelical teachers of our day. I wanted to share with you a message that particularly impacted me from Dr. David Platt, entitled: "An Unadjusted Gospel in an Unreached World: Connecting Gospel Theology with Urgent Missiology" . If you have time, it is worth a listen!

Summer is Fast Approaching!

Though we are still very disappointed that we will not be leading a team of students to Johannesburg, South Africa this summer, we are looking forward to spending another summer in Myrtle Beach with our Summer Beach Project. While many students are pursuing internships, jobs and summer school; a group of over one hundred students from all over North Carolina will descend upon Myrtle Beach to do one thing: grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. We have the privilege of being a part of this! At the conclusion of the 2009 spring, there were only three girls who were going to attend the Summer Beach Project from UNCC. This summer, there will be two dozen students from UNCC pursuing God. During our time at the SBP, we will be leading and teaching one of our training packets: Biblical Stewardship, giving a seminar on Godly relationships with the opposite sex leading the student team leaders and investing in the students from UNCC! What a summer we have ahead of us!

Prayer Requests:

-Pray for the students from UNCC who will be attending the SBP that they may grow deeply in their relationships with God.
-Pray for us as we lead and help shepherd the student leaders on the project.
-Pray for us as we teach important Biblical principles
