International Ministry at Crosspoint Church has been growing and thriving thanks to God's extravagant grace! Events like weekly International Women's Craft Time, Christianity Explored, Football parties and Chai stands have given church members opportunities to build individual relationships with international students. There has also been many opportunities for international students to hear about Jesus and His precious gospel!
Monday and Tuesday of this week was a beautiful time in the mountains at Camp McCall with nationalities from all over the world! Iranians, Uzbekistanis, Indians, Chinese, Brazilians, Germans and Americans attended. This event was hosted by the International Student Association of Clemson University but several Generation-Link staff and Christian college students were able to attend as well.
While hiking, skeet shooting, swinging, eating camp food, bunking down in cabins, and ziplining, we were able to build relationships with these students, hear their life stories, and share our faith! We are very thankful for a couple of days to get away and share life with men and women from such diverse cultures.
Praise the Lord for opening up doors and hearts. Many students are interested in learning more about Him! Pray that He will continue to soften hearts and minds to Himself. Pray for our International Student Bonfire Bash this Friday night, that relationships between Crosspointers and Internationals will develop and continue to grow after this weekend. If you would like to come, meet us in the Victoria Square parking lot at 7pm to ride out to the Dillman's farm.
