The first need is an immediate need and we are needing the funds within 24-36 hours.  This has been a last minute project that has come together very quickly.  In partnership with this particular seminary and a fellow missionary with another ministry, we now have 11 seminary students ready to travel to a city comprised primarily of an unreached people group to help with some humanitarian relief efforts.   
This particular city was hit hard recently by a natural disaster which killed thousands.  These students will be serving in a much needed relief project for 1-2 months, meeting the locals, building relationships and sharing the Gospel.  These students are in this seminary in part to serve among UPG's.  We have $300 right now assigned for this project and we need an additional $400 to complete our financial commitment.  If you can help, please go to our online giving page to donate.  Again, we need this money asap.  The website is www.crosscampus.net/donate.html.  

The second need is during the 2010-2011 school year.  We have the opportunity to bringing on 2 seminary graduates from the same seminary mentioned above.  Our plan is to utilize them in two ways.  First, we plan to utilize them in the College Town to meet students, share the Gospel and disciple those who believe.  Second, we are looking at starting a ministry to a group of students from a particular East Asian UPG which appears that no one is reaching out to in the College Town.   

Altogether, there are 12.5 million people in this particular UPG with a good number studying in the College Town.  However, only about 100 of the 12.5 million know Christ personally.  These people are part of a religious system that is committed to ensuring they never hear the Gospel, literally.   

For this particular project, we need $3000 USD by the end of June.  This money will be used solely to rent an apartment for one year, furnish it, pay utilities and provide internet for these interns.  The remainder of their support will come from their church and the seminary they graduated from.    

I ask that you consider both opportunities and pray how you can help partner with us in getting the Gospel to these UPG's and the students in the College Town through these seminary graduates.

Our role is two fold.  Our primary goal is presenting the Gospel to each student and providing discipleship for those who believe.  This is accomplished by partnering with local East Asian churches and getting them into the school to meet students and build relationships so they can be the ones sharing the Gospel.

Second, we are teaching English to each student, as this is part of their curriculum.  They currently have no native English speakers teaching them English so we are partnering with the school to ensure they receive as best of an English education as possible from native English speakers.

In the coming months, we'll post additional information and pictures on our website.  You can follow up by going to the "Ministry" tab above then clicking on "Rural College Project"

]]><![CDATA[East Asian Brother / Feb 12-21]]>Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:48:51 -0800http://www.crosscampus.net/4/post/2010/01/east-asian-brother-feb-12-21.htmlC.L. is an East Asian brother in our mentoring ministry.  I just met with him this evening and he shared that he'll be returning home soon to visit his whole family.  He's the only believer in his family but his parents have forbidden him in the past from bringing his Bible into their home or even sharing about his faith.  However, he plans to do both this time around.  So, I want you to join with me in partnering with C.L.

Beginning Friday February 12 until Sunday February 21, I'm asking you to commit to pray for C.L. as he seeks to share the Gospel with his family, of whom many have never been exposed to the Gospel or a Bible.  In addition, I want you to commit to fast, as you pray, for one 24 hour period within these dates.  Like us, C.L.'s family needs the Gospel and C.L. is, right now, the messenger.  Let's rally behind C.L. by supporting him through prayer and fasting.  

Just in case you are wondering.  C.L. is seeking a fasting team from within his church.  However, his trip is during a major holiday.  The 12-15th may be the most difficult days to recruit from within his church to fast for him.  So lets partner and fill in the gaps.  Of course, I'm still asking for the other days to be covered as well.

If you would like to join in on this life changing ministry, please contact us at office@crosscampus.net.

]]><![CDATA[Haiti - Not East Asia but they need our help]]>Wed, 13 Jan 2010 17:18:57 -0800http://www.crosscampus.net/4/post/2010/01/haiti-not-east-asia-but-they-need-our-help.htmlRecently, a 7.0 earthquake hit the capital of Haiti.  More than 100,000 people are feared dead.  Although we are an East Asian focused ministry, it's difficult to sit by and do nothing. 

Being and East Asian based ministry, helping in Haiti poses some challenges but we want to attempt to do something.  At this time, we want to challenge you to do the following three things. 

1.  Donate money to help provide relief.  There are many suggestions but we suggest Youth With a Mission* (also view YWAM Haiti*) because they work closely with the church in Haiti.  The reason we suggest them is that they are a ministry that works directly with the church in Haiti.  They are doing more than providing relief, they are providing relief and sharing the Gospel. 

2.  Pray for God to bring healing & relief to the entire country, for the church in Haiti to take a leading & active role in the relief and for the Gospel to pentrate the hearts of the Haitian people.

3.  Pray for the church in East Asia to step up and assist in some way to assist the church in Haiti with relief efforts, at the very least in monetary assistance. 

* Youth With a Mission & YWAM Haiti are not official partners with CCI or governed by CCI.  This information is listed for your convenience only.  CCI is not responsible for the funds YWAM receives or how they utilize them.

More info coming by first week of Feb.  Right now, we are assembling the information, ensuring follow up is done by local believers and then we'll create our next paper newsletter.
