I have started to ask a few of the Bereans to think about their summer plans...last summer, many of them made the decision to stay at home the entire time. Long Beach State has a very long summer break, and almost all of them struggled and felt isolated. This summer, I am hoping that several of them will decide to either go on overseas trips, or go to a "summer training program" as the Navigators call our summer opportunities here in the states.
These summer trips are so often incubators for spiritual growth, and can be key times in the lives of students. God used one of these in my life in the summer after my sophomore year. Would you be praying that these young men would choose to use their summers for God's purposes?
1. Pray for the courage to risk going on a mission trip.
2. Pray for the vision to see the value of these programs.
3. Pray that these guys would make a decision by faith!
