While in Costa Rica I was pleasantly surprised by the way our college students ministered as true servants. I was also surprised by their ability to serve.
For example, when asked how many of them knew how to tie rebar so we could pour a concrete slab, everyone in the group raised their hands. Later that day I started my list of ways to know a child grew up at CrossPoint. Here’s my list.
#20 They enjoy serving the Lord
#19 They read their Bibles
#18 They know their pastor and staff cares for them
#17 They love each other
#16 They don’t mind getting dirty for the Lord
#15 They have friends at church
#14 They are not afraid to share the gospel
#13 Many of them have had only one pastor in their lifetime
#12 They have seen God do some amazing things
#11 They are generous
#10 They know their way around this massive campus
#9 They invite their friends to CrossPoint
#8 They know how to tie rebar
#7 They are not ashamed to hug their pastor
#6 They are always ready to serve
#5 They know what it means to CONNECT
#4 They are often seen wearing a CrossPoint t-shirt from some past event
#3 They bring their Bible to worship
#2 They sit near the front of the worship center
#1 They do everything they can to reach JUSTONEMORE for Christ
I would be curious to read your additions to this list.
Those are some incredible young mae! Full of respect and humor, work ethic and play ethics and hearts as big as any I’ve encounted. They ministered to children and adults all week. What an honor to have been on mission trip with them! Praise God for them and for all who contributed to who they are. What a credit to God and to CrossPoint. Glory to God!
They have no fear.
They pray together.
They laugh together.
They love a challenge.
