Praise Report & Prayer Requests

Thank You Jesus for Changing lives!

Please celebrate with us and praise the Lord for His great blessings! This summer God is transforming thousands of lives and developing leaders around the world through numerous summer training projects. Campus Outreach is investing in the lives of students on over:

• 29 Summer Training Projects across the US and Puerto Rico
• 26 Cross Cultural Outreach Projects around the world &
• 6 Urban Development Projects across the US.

> Pray for the many young believers who are investing their summer in growing in their own relationship with Christ and learning to to effectively share their faith and walk in fellowship with their brothers and sisters in Christ. Pleas pray that they would follow Jesus, and He "would make them fishers of men." (Mark 1:17)

> Pray for the many young leaders who are learning to pour their lives into others as they lead discipleship groups and individually challenge others to grow in Christ. (2 Tim 2:1-2)

> Pray for all of the students that God would use these experiences to stretch their view of God, themselves, and the world. Pray God would give them His vision of and heart for the world!

> Pray for the many people who will hear the gospel through these students this summer. Pray that the Gospel will take root and bring forth the fruit of eternal life in their hearts. Pray God will raise up laborers for His harvest (Matt. 9:35-38)

A New Year of Impact

When you meet Jesus, He changes Everything!

Today, just like years ago, meeting Jesus is a life changing encounter. For me, it was at a Campus Outreach New Years Conference back in 1986. I was a sophomore in college and Dr. Frank Barker was the main rally speaker. He shared about the grace of God through Jesus Christ in a way that made sense to me and Jesus compelled my surrender to Him! My life has been forever changed!

My prayer for this year's New Year's Conference is that God would use it to bring students into a saving relationship with Jesus and for many more young Christian students to make decisions to follow Jesus and "become fishers of men" (Just like Mark 1:17 says).

I will be in Chattanooga meeting with students and staff discussing opportunities for ministry and service after college. Pray God would use these conversations to encourage and challenge students to take their next step!

Along with the 1,500+ students at the Chattanooga NYC, CO will host thousands of other students at three other conferences going on in other parts of the country (Jacksonville, FL, Washington, DC, & Milwaukee, WI). These conferences will be a culmination of all the evangelistic conversations and studies from this fall back on campus! Pray that God would cause the seeds of the gospel to take root in the hearts of many students!

Please pray they will "follow Jesus, and become fishers of men!" Mark 1:17

And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Mark 1:17

Summer of Impact...

Summer is such a busy time for Campus Outreach and this year is no exception. God is blessing us with much growth and development this summer. We are blessed with over 2,300 students on Summer Leadership Training Projects, International Projects, and Cross-Cultural Projects in the US and around the world this summer. What a privilege to partner together with you to see God raising up laborers for the lost world!

Please pray with us that God will use this time to grow them in their...

• Relationship with God
• Vision for the world
• Understanding of how God has designed them for His glory and impact!

Ephesians 2:4-10 ESV
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in or trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have been saved - and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for Good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Many New Commitments Through NYC

Here is a video recap from one of the six New Years Conferences Campus Outreach hosted over the Christmas and News Year's break. Thousands of students were challenged with who is Jesus Christ and how to grow and walk in a personal relationship with Him.

"Thankful for this past week and all that God revealed to me at NYC! Definitely life Changing" -Dixon, University of Memphis

"It was great at NYC seeing God answering my prayers by saving one of my friends." - Dillon, University of Memphis

Praise God with us for the hundreds of students who committed to follow Christ and for the many more who committed to a deeper walk with Jesus and many more who committed to multiply their life into the lives of others. Pray for them and the staff as they seek to follow them up and help them each take the next step in their relationship with God.

Great Content... Great Opportunity!

Update from CO National Conference!

Wow! What a blessing! Incredible to see God moving and working in peoples hearts and lives.

Students Listen as Pastor Harry Reeder Challenges About "One Life: Multiply It!"

I know this pic just looks like a sea of people (can't even get them all in the picture, over 5,100 of them), but each one represents a soul and a potential laborer.  Just think of the potential if all these took seriously the call to follow Jesus!  I really believe this is such a strategic investment in the Kingdom of God!!!

Please pray for those students who were challenged on what it means to serve Christ as Lord and those wrestling with decisions about becoming a Christian.  Some 100+ students have already indicated a decision to follow Christ before they left the conference!!! Another 400+ indicated a commitment toward a 1-2 year mission track following graduation! Pray for those who continue to wrestle with the truth of the gospel in their hearts! And pray for us as wee seek to follow them up!

I hope you had the privilege to catch some of the rallies that were live streamed during the conference at CO National Conference LIVE!  If not or if you want to hear a particular message again, our staff put together all the content from the Conference at CO National Conference Media. They also put together the brief 2 minute video overview of the conference (found below) that can give you a quick view of some of what went on at this years Conference.
