Long Beach

Erika and I just returned from 3 weeks in Long Beach, CA. We helped set up the summer project and were able to find a few days to vacation with some family that came to visit.

I was encouraged as 31 students made their way to Long Beach to spend 10 weeks working in the community and bringing the kingdom of God into every aspect of their lives. It seems as though these summers never return void in students or the communities lives.

Last year we (some staff and students on project) saw a women by the name of Dawn trust Christ at the GLBT center in Long Beach. recently we heard that she is still walking with Christ and is plugged into a house church network in the area. I am amazed that God works in these ways; that he redeems people, he calls them his own and he uses those who are broken and needy to glorify himself.
