God is on the Move at UMass Boston!

Soooo many exciting things have been happening at UMass. On Monday we had an Ice Cream Social for students to come meet us, fill out a quick interest survey, and get free ice cream. I was overwhelmed by the number of students that stopped bye our table. We had 63 students say they were interested in hearing more about God and/or getting involved with Real Life! We had at least 200 ice cream bars and ran out of every last one...even the meleted rejects!

Then...we had our first kickoff Real Life Christian Fellowship of the year on Wednesday. Over 30 students were there...that is TRIPLE than what we had at our largest meetings last year! It was a pretty diverse group with whites being a minority, which is cool. We have to reserve a bigger room becasue there was hardly any room to stand!! Students seemed interested in what we have going on around campus and in the Boston Metro area. I am sooo encouraged! God is on the move at UMass!!

2764 Students Ventured Out on Summer Projects

This article is from the CCC Staff website. I think it is encouraging and wanted to share it:

I am much more aware of God and how He is moving on campus. He definitely showed His power this summer, and I have big expectations for what He will do in the coming year! –student on Foot of the Rockies project

Summer project seriously changed my life. My faith with the Lord had been present throughout my life but I had no idea how much I needed to realize that I'm broken and in need of a Savior DAILY in my life. I learned that the Lord is not just a part of my life, but He IS my life. – Miami

I really experienced for the first time ever what a community of believers is supposed to look like: discipleship, accountability, prayer, vulnerability, and loads of fun and silliness. – Santa Cruz

God helped me forgive myself. I learned how to treasure the Gospel. - Wildwood

Launching a movement in Hawaii helped me truly understand and appreciate how our campus is also launching a movement in Sacramento State. It makes me excited to be a part of something new. – Epic: Hawaii

The digits: Students personally shared the Gospel with 47,370 individuals, and more than 20,000 in group settings or through media. 3820 people indicated they received Christ! On 197 global projects, 885 students went overseas, 1880 were state-side.
