Summer Fun It has been a very busy summer! All of us at Campus Renewal have been working to plan for this next semester and to fundraise. We are looking forward to events like All Campus Worship, Regional Shift Conferences, where we do concentrated training on prayer, sharing your faith and living missionally in the communities where you live, as well as the regular weekly prayer and encouraging times with student and campus ministry leaders. We also welcomed the new life of the son of Jeremy Story’s (our CEO) son! He and his wife have a very full quiver, and I know that God will bless them mightily! It was good to learn that we have a couple of full time volunteers coming on board with us in New York, and some two potential new staff members. We have a bunch of student interns coming in the fall for Texas; it’s so wonderful to see God move this way! Join us in prayer for this coming year – for more workers for the harvest, and that we can make the impact that God has instructed us to! | | | | | And… go! It’s time for me to make the move from Austin to New York City! It has been a quite intense, getting ready to move. I’ve sold most of my things and packing what’s left that fits in my car in order to head out – my projected date is August 14th. While I will miss my friends, family and students that I’ve connected with, I am so excited to see and be a part of what God is doing in NYC. I’ve connected with a couple of campus leaders and students, and am looking forward to developing those relationships. As for financially, I have over 65% of the $4000 monthly I am responsible to raise for my work at CRM – isn’t that fantastic!! God has worked through many of you to get to this point. I still need partners to complete the rest of the $1400 (which would be only 56 folks at $25 monthly, 28 at $50, or any combination that the Lord leads), so please call or email me if that is on your heart . You can also go to www.campusrenewal.org/donate directly. Thank you so much for all your support and prayers! Much Love, Akpene | | |
