Missions Update: March 2008
At our IMT Meeting on March 4, we heard from Aaron and Stephanie Shalosky, who work with Campus Crusade's student ministries on five southern Colorado university campuses. They attend PRC. This fall the director left and Aaron was asked to take his place. The campus ministries also have an international focus with partnerships in Serbia and Southern Africa. Groups of students have been going to Serbia for five years for summer outreach programs. Students can also go for one year or longer to help the three full-time couples who are there.
The South Africa partnership at the University of Pretoria is new with a group of students going for the first time this summer. Besides working at the University, they will be partnering with Beam Africa, a local mission that builds community centers to train Africans in job skills and feed children.
Another way we might partner with them is through a new project called Angel Food. Through this organization those in need can order food at deep discounts. Once it is delivered, the students help distribute it. If anyone is interested in helping with that, contact Aaron.
Prayer Requests: - Aaron and Stephanie will travel soon to Serbia to encourage the staff. Pray for safety in the light of the recent burning of the U.S. Embassy.
- For new believers on the campuses where they are working.
- Expanding of the local team.
- Development of alumni -staying connected with them to help them live for God after graduation.
- $200 additional monthly support. Aaron, as director, is also responsible for raising support for the Campus Crusade ministry beyond their personal support.
