Missions

October has been declared "Love Out Loud." So this October we are focusing on local missions in here in Oxford and in the surrounding areas. Each week there is one or more mission focus' along with ways to support missions, through volunteering, prayer or support. Durring the students fall break October 16th-18th there is a trip planned where the students will be serving with The University of Cincinnati's Campus Ministry Team, they will be helping at various food banks and recovery shelters. This will be a great weekend allowing the students to reach out and to learn about missions.

Midterms are approaching and the stress of the semester is setting in for may of our students. Please be in prayer for their decisions and time management skills. Please also be in prayer for the staff as we continue to go through transitions. Also for the church as a whole as we continue to seek God's direction.

Looking a little further this Christmas we are sending approximately 10 students and 3 staff members to China. While in China they will be sharing the Christmas Story. Please be in prayer for the team as the prepare for the trip. Each student has to raise his/her own support so please be praying that God will make the funds available for each student and staff member.
