A Successful Christmas Ministry

 

11.18.05
This year Greek IMPACT served as the lead in mobilizing Greek students at Carolina to help serve others this holiday season. We charged the Greeks to make Christmas Shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child – a ministry aimed at providing Christmas presents to children in impoverished countries around the world – and students responded.

Greek IMPACT served hot chocolate and cookies to fraternity and sorority students outisde the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and collected 225 shoeboxes and over $1,300 to help cover the cost of shipping the boxes across the globe. With an average shoebox costing $10 to make, we estimate that the Greek system raised over $3,000 for Operation Christmas Child this year.

 

... The challenge of both serving as the Director for the Charlotte Greek Conference (2.17-19) AND heading up our local recruiting efforts is becoming evident. Pray for my focus and endurance as I try to do both well.

... Student leader partnership in recruiting for Conference has been difficult. Pray that they would take risks in inviting thier friends to this weekend.

... We are taking the idea of "being fully ALIVE," a step further this semester by tackling what "faith as a way of life" looks like.

... My schedule is packed this semester, as I am discipling 19 men and women and leading three 'team ministry' meetings each week. Pray for my leadership of those students. Also pray that leaders would step up to the challenge to lead their area of ministry focus well.
