Santa Monica Summer Project

3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica

I just arrived in LA for Santa Monica Summer Project.  The 63 students on the project haven’t arrived yet; some are still in classes at their respective schools.  Staff, however, arrive a week early to prepare for their arrival.

I will be pouring into 4 specific guys this summer: Andrew, Elijah, Eric, and Matt.  I haven’t met them yet, but am excited to get to know them and invest in them.  Pray that they will grow closer to the Lord this summer and grow in their knowledge of how to introduce others to Jesus in a relevant way.  Pray for close relationships within our group.  Pray that they would grow in loving others well.

I will be updating this blog with posts throughout the next month.  Check back for updates.

Imaginary Jesus

Hippie?  Conservative?  Liberal?  My homeboy?

I wanted to tell you about an outreach that is happening this week.

Matt Mikalatos, the author of Imaginary Jesus, is coming to UCI to examine who the real Jesus is, as well as the imaginary Jesus many make him out to be.  Some say He’s a friend, a counselor, a Prophet, or a simple man with good ethics.  Who is He exactly, and what did He stand for?

We are really excited to see what God does this week.   We are blitzing the campus with ads for this event.   We are going to have a giant graffiti board on campus with questions like, “Who was Jesus?” and “What is our purpose?”   Our goal is to create a buzz on campus, bring people to our event to hear Matt, and to reach as many students as we can with the gospel!

It started Monday April 11 and the Matt is speaking this Thursday night! Please pray!
