From May 30th to August 5th, I and approximately 40 other Clemson students and staff will be living in Bluffton, SC, an area that is 70% unchurched. We are going to be church planters for Crosspoint Church of Bluffton, an outreach of Crosspoint of Clemson. The purpose of our ten-week mission project is to help Crosspoint Bluffton build relationships in the community for when they launch in September. While we are there, we will get jobs in the community so that we may influence our co-workers for Christ. As people begin a personal relationship with Christ, we will be able to connect them to a church body so that they can continue to grow to spiritual maturity. The relationships that we build within the community will be a great catalyst for helping our church-plant get off the ground. It is our hope and prayer to see a thriving, biblically sound church that is having a tremendous impact in the community. On the weekends, we will do outreaches in the community to serve Crosspoint Bluffton.
I have created this blog to keep you, my friends and family, prayer and financial supporters, updated on what is happening in Bluffton throughout the summer. You will also be able to see pictures of what God is doing! I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your support, and your encouraging notes and prayers. God is using you as a strong foundation on which I can confidently become a witness for him. Thank you and God bless!
