What a privilege to be a part of sending them out to the harvest fields. I am feeling the best kind of exhausted right now; knowing my day-to-day, routine tasks are playing a part in advancing God's kingdom around the world. I can't believe I get to do what I do, and alongside such a great team of people, nonetheless.
Pray for the summer teams, headed to the following cities:
- Kumasi, Ghana
- Montevideo, Uruguay
- Paris, France
- Brisbane, Australia
- the Middle East (secure location)
- western East Asia (secure location)
It's our aim that this summer, these student mission projects will be able to meet hundreds of fellow students, share the Gospel, and win them to Christ. Then, the students will be discipled by the summer group and the incoming team of Americans we're sending in the fall. The fall teams will stay all year in hopes of building into the spiritual movement started by the summer group. Throughout the year, I'll send 7-10 day "vision trips" with laborers who can help pull off key outreaches.
And to think there are 9 other geographical regions of the US with Cru students who are doing the exact same things - sending summer, fall and vision trip teams constantly to their partnership countries.
I love the strategy and intentionality involved in our regional sending plan. When I say that these are partnerships, I mean that the Upper Midwest is committed to sending laborers to these specific countries on a consistent basis.
Wonderful things are happening in each of these locations. There are high schoolers coming to Christ in the Middle East, and Chinese students coming to Christ in Australia. Our summer team will partner with a team of dozens of Ghanaian students who are on their own summer project in their native country. Unreached people groups in Asia are seeing fruit. I could go on and on! Stay tuned for updates throughout May and June from our summer mission projects.
