Seattle Summer 2010

Greetings,

Have you ever asked yourself “Did I do everything this year to the best of my ability, to grow the Kingdom of God ?” Well, I can honestly say I feel like I have grown so much closer to Christ. He has tested and strengthened me in so many areas of my faith. I can’t even begin to tell you the countless times He has helped me trust in, and rely on His Holy Name.

I was given the opportunity to serve on the Seattle Summer-In-The-City/Prison student project last summer; it was a whirlwind of growth for me. The project to the inner city of Seattle included helping those in need, sharing the Gospel with inner city children, and inmates in a correctional facility. Last summer I had to trust God with finances that I didn’t have. I learned to be more vulnerable about my past and opening up to others. I shared my faith in the prisons and I was able to see how my story helped heal one lady in particular. Well, you can imagine how excited I was when the project director asked me to come back this summer and serve as a student-staff!

I believe the Lord will use this time to stretch me and draw me closer to Him, and I can’t wait to serve the other students. The Seattle Project will also help me develop leadership and organizational skills and gain a better perspective of Criminal Justice, Social work, and Psychology.
However, in order to make all this possible, I need to ask for your help. I need to build a team that will financially support me in this mission. I am asking you to consider joining my support team by helping me get to Seattle . Would you consider making a donation of $200, 100, 50 or whatever God would direct you to help. The deadline for raising these funds is May 20, 2010; so if you would like to contribute, please send a check to my address, MADE PAYABEL TO CAMPUS CRUSADE FOR CHRIST or to make things a little easier you can even donate online at http://give.ccci.org/give/view/5550724. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions (320) 224.4776

I am also asking for your prayers. Please pray for my safety and that of all the ministry team. Pray that the Lord will use our time in Seattle to change hearts like He did last year. There is a good chance that we will be able to reconnect with some of the inmates that we meet last year, so pray also for our time with them.

In His Name,
Susan Hight
