Summer Project!

This week 60 college students from Texas and Kansas arrived for a 6-week summer project. We have been working to prepare them to walk closely with the Lord and reach out with His love on our campuses.

Our summer project teams are working on both the U of A and Poly Tech campuses here in Athens. A third group traveled to a new location in Ioannina to pioneer new work ther. Their main mission is to meet new students and identify those who are desiring to learn more about having a personal relationship with the Lord. They will follow up with those who are interested-- hang out, drink coffee, etc. When our STINT team arrives in the fall they will continue to build relationships with these students. We’ve seen summer groups surface some of our most faithful Greek friends. We can't wait to see what happens this summer through these guys!

If you'd like to participate in the project by praying daily, send me a message at marta.fraser@uscm.org and i'll send you our daily prayer calendar.

"now to him who is able to do immeasurably
more than all we ask or imagine, according
to his power that is at work within us."
[ephesians 3:20]

Assuring us of His love

We've enjoyed some great discussions about God's Word recently!
This week we talked about Jesus' love. We discussed things that keep us from experiencing His love. at one point Xaris said, "Jesus' love is unconditional, right?"
In a conversation with Giannis, we talked about how we're often not thankful for Jesus' sacrifice. I loved our conversation about I John 5 where God tells us that He wants us to know we have eternal life when we believe in Jesus.
We're all growing tremendously as Jesus teaches us about His great, unchanging love for us!

girls' night!

Ten of us gathered Friday for an evening full of food and fun and friendship.
Our friends helped us cook some heavy appetizers-- they were delicious. As we ate, girls submitted discussion questions that we answered.
Here are some of my favorite questions: What has made you most satisfied in life? What is your most embarrassing moment? What would you do if your boyfriend cheated on you?
We had some really great conversations!
After that, we shared dessert and watched a movie. We loved our time together!
