US Campus Students head “Down Under”

What do most campus students like to do when they are on break?
Excitingly, there were ten students that recently decided to use their time off to make an eternal difference in the lives of some fellow campus students on the other side of the world…literally!
 
My husband Dave and I had the pleasure to take ten university students from several different universities across the United States to Sydney for one month to restart the campus ministry in the Sydney church.
 
Each student paid their own way and sacrificed time to come on this mission trip.
 
The trip started with a nationwide campus retreat (the first one in 6 years). Entitled "For His Glory," it was a great time where the students in Australia got a dream to grow and live for God's glory.
 
The interns spent several hours every weekday evangelizing two different universities in Sydney. As a result after the first two weeks we had over 10 new bible studies and many new contacts. As the weeks went by, God continued doing great things and encouraging the faith of the disciples. On the last Sunday of the month, the campus students even led service – the first time for the Sydney church in many years.
 
It is exciting to see God working and raising up a new generation of disciples in this beautiful country.
 
Please pray that the doors will continue to open across the campuses of Australia and the faith of our sister churches in Sydney and the rest of Australia will continue to grow.
