Living in Hampton Beach, NH

I'm currently in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire as staff with Campus Crusade for Christ for the first month of a Summer Project. A Summer Project is an opportunity for students to engage in spiritual conversations in a new community, be trained in ministry and leadership roles, and grow in their faith.

A tool used to share the Gospel

As staff, I will be...

• discipling three of our 25 students attending this project
• helping lead a small Bible Study
• training my students to share their faith at their new jobs
• sharing my faith on the beach alongside these students
• and training students to conduct a weekly meeting (emcee, worship, speakers, etc.)

One of the ways that we show our students to walk with Christ for a lifetime is to take the training we've given them in leadership and using that at a local church. Most college students move away from their familiar environments after they graduate due to job opportunities. One of the most important things for them to have in this transition is a strong understanding of how to seek fellowship in a new church and engage with it's community. This will help keep their walk with Jesus afresh instead of stagnant or fading.

As staff, we want to be an example of a lifetime laborer for Christ. So the first Sunday staff were here, we checked out the three different churches that partner with us. I had the opportunity to attend Bethany Church in Greenland, NH. To my surprise the Pastor was a Puerto Rican man from Brooklyn! Of course he and another couple were the darkest in the congregation aside from me (I'm trying to catch a tan, but the weather isn't complying), but the service was great!  
Can't wait til my students get to experience the worship and Biblical teaching I was able to. :)
