The City Project...

Well The City Project began May 31 and is going great.  We have 23 students participating and it has been so much fun getting to know them.  The first three days we spent getting to know Durham and each other and we also spent a lot of time preparing for the summer.  On June 5th we flew to New York City and met up with a guy that is planting churches in Queens in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods.  It was a great trip.  I think we were able to make many connections for the church planter.  It was also a great time for our team - getting to know one another better, exploring the city and seeing what God is doing all over the world through NYC and also learning how to explain the hope that we have in Jesus.  It was also great for me personally to be back in the northeast and to develop some deep friendships with Dave Turner the college pastor and Jeremy Dager a college intern at the Summit and a future church planter.  We're now back in Durham where the students are interning with local organizations serving Durham and also interning with a Summit pastor.  If that is not enough they are also taking a seminary course through South Eastern Baptist Theological School.  I am really excited to see how God uses this summer to impact these students, our neighbors and the world!
