For the week of March 7th to 14th a group of 5 students and Chris Daniel, the RUF campus minister will embark on a journey to lend many hands in New York City. We have chosen to spend our spring break serving there with an organization called Operation Exodus. Operation Exodus is a ministry mostly for school aged children, to reach them for Christ and offer opportunities to them they don’t get elsewhere. Exodus is a place for kids to come after school and receive tutoring, friendship, a time of fun, and The Gospel! We are going to be spending one week from March 7th to 14th working with Operation Exodus. We will be directing activities, befriending these inner city children and sharing the hope and love of Jesus Christ through worship and sharing the word of God. We will also have the opportunity to perform some hands on grunt work that needs to be done around the facility as time allows.
I am very excited about this opportunity as I have never actually been on a "official" mission trip, which may come as a shocker to most of you who know how I spent my summer. As I have traveled to places like India and Australia that are far away and distant it wasn't with the official goal of sharing Christ. This excites me to a great extreme and I am hoping that you will join with me in praying for this opportunity and as well as for me to be financially supported when March rolls around.
"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions
exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions,
because God is ulitmate, not man." - John Piper Let the Nations be
