Hope for Clemson

October 31, 2011

"And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region."  Acts 13:49

Paul and Barnabas were not satisfied with merely sharing the gospel with one or two individuals but with entire regions.  They did not see the gospel as an interesting piece of news, but as being profitable for salvation.  They took this understand and with boldness went into cities proclaiming the name of Jesus and serving the people for his glory.  We also as Christians see the gospel as being more than gossip or an irrelevant fact, because we have experienced the redeeming and transforming power of God's words in our lives.  And we are commanded to take gospel to the entire world, from the Far East to our own backyards, so that the good news of Christ would impact and transform the world. 

Because of this calling Crosspoint Church has a vision to transform our communities for Christ.  One of the action steps for this vision is Hope for Clemson, which is an extended service partnership with various ministries and communities in the Clemson area.  Crosspoint's Connecting Point groups are leading these partnerships by linking their group with specific areas of service.  The goal is that each CP group would intentionally serve their partnership at least once a month for the remanding school year.  So far the CP groups have partnered up with various neighborhoods and dorms as well as many ministries such as Helping Hands and Haven of Rest.

We ask that you would please be in prayer for our CP groups as they go into the world to impact the culture, and if you would like to participate in or start a new Hope for Clemson partnership please contact Sean Alford at salford@generation-link.org. 

Soli Deo gloria,
