As you can see in the picture below, 75 different stories  unfolded and grew this summer (not including the staff team!) on the Santa Monica Summer Mission.  It was a privilege and a blessing to lead this summer mission.  Here are a couple of the stories of changed lives that came from “SaMoSuMi15”.

SaMoSuMi15

Kevin will be a junior this Fall at Cal Poly Pomona.  On one of the first outreaches we had, Kevin met two teenagers whose names were Eric and Alex (girl).  They connected well in that first encounter and Kevin invited Eric and Alex to attend our weekly meetings on Monday nights and church on Sundays.  They showed up for every one for the next 6 weeks!  They met tons of students, and by the last week of summer mission, one of the women got to pray with Alex to receive Jesus as her Savior!

Tiffany will be a sophomore this Fall at Cal State Chico.  She came to SaMoSuMi new in her faith and insecure about being a part of a community that felt more “spiritual” than she.  She asked tons of questions throughout her discipleship times, trusted the Lord with sharing her faith, and dove into community.  By the end of the summer she couldn’t wait to share how the Lord had worked in her life and how excited, yet nervous, she was to take what she’d  learned back to campus! 

Prayer & Praise!

• For each student from SaMoSuMi15 to process all the Lord did in those 8 weeks, and use them to catalyze life change around them on campus!
• For Alex and the 37 other men and women who received Jesus as Savior this summer; that they would continue to grow in their relationship with Him.
• For Becky, Sarah, and Ethan as they kickoff a new school year next week.

Thank You!

For all you invest to see Jesus change the lives of college students for eternity!  We are grateful to partner with you!
