End of the semester

It's been a couple of months since my last blog entry. Since then, here's all that we've seen at UConn:

- We wrapped up a Spring Break trip to Panama City Beach, Florida, where a ton of students got to experience evangelism for the first time.

- I took a team of staff and students from Dartmouth College to Milan, to continue the work we started a couple of years ago. In the process, we got to meet some great people from local churches and reconnected with some friends we met several years back.

- UConn won the women's NCAA basketball championship, going undefeated at 39-0.

- We had a two-week outreach when we brought in Cliffe Knechtle, a CT pastor and host of the show, "Give Me an Answer".

- We had our annual Fellowship Dinner, during which time God raised $22,000 for the campus ministry here at UConn.

- We graduated dozens of seniors who now leave our midst but who will continue to go on and make a difference for Christ for the rest of their lives.

- We have left for our summer assignments. Some 35 students will be involved in one summer missions opportunity or another - a UConn record.

So with all that, we hit the summer. Our big task is fund development. We have been hit very hard with the economy and need to raise approximately $800 in new monthly support. We also need to raise $6,000 to cover our expenses for our summer assignment, which is Staff Training out in Fort Collins, Colorado. Please pray for us along these lines.

Thanks!!!
