Hey students and parents! Ever wondered how YOU can be directly involved with Week of Hope? I’m so glad you were curious, because I want to tell you a few key ways for you to get plugged in with this amazing opportunity to bless the cities of RDU. 

  • Are you a Middle School Student? If yes, then you need to go and sign up NOW for your opportunity to be a part of Week of Hope. We’ll be going to 3 strategic areas where our campuses are located and serving the people in those neighborhoods. It all starts this Wednesday, so you need to sign up TODAY. 
  • Serve with your 2.42 Group:: If you are a part of one of Summit Students 2.42 groups, make sure you ask your small group leader what you guys are doing this week to bless the people around you! 
  • Serve with your family:: Our desire is that you would be able to serve alongside your family during this week. There are some great opportunities for families to serve together, that each member in the family could participate in. Make sure to check out what’s available….and then SIGN UP. 
  • Just Do It:: If none of the above work out for you, I want to encourage you to take the initiative to sign up yourself and get involved. Bring a friend along with you, get your hands dirty and love on your neighbors. 

Simply put, there really are no excuses for you this week. There is a place for everyone to serve, and I hope you take advantage of this great opportunity. I look forward to hearing how God blesses YOU this week.

Crossroads Update, Part ???

July 1, 2009 · 2 Comments

Well, we’ve been at camp for a few days now and we are really starting to see some fruit of the work of the Spirit in the lives of many of our students. Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve seen God doing here this week::

  • 5 salvations as of tonight
  • 1 girl who gave her life to Christ tonight AND said she feels like God wants her to be a counselor to women who have problems, and she wants to be able to “help them get through it by teaching them the bible.” (Yes, that was verbatim…you gotta LOVE the sincerity and passion from a middle school girl.)
  • Amazing small group times with our students in the evenings
  • New friendships are beginning and community is being built among our group
  • Oh yeah, can’t forget the dance party that took place tonight in the dorm hallway of the guys dorm. They claimed it was in celebration of the students who gave their lives to Christ this week….ha! 

Parents, your students are doing amazing. They are learning so much, being stretched in new ways in their walks with Christ and being spurred on towards the gospel. Below is a brief word from Brandon Hudson, our Student Ministry Coordinator at our West Club Campus. Enjoy!
