Fall Retreat
Each year, students take part in Fall Retreat, which is designed to provide awesome connection with friends, a break from schoolwork and most of all, a time of renewal and closeness to God. This is a most crucial event, as it presents the ministry with an opportunity to really get to know incoming freshmen, and get them plugged into Bible studies and other activities.
Christmas Conference
The Indianapolis Christmas Conference is an annual winter conference affiliated with The Campus Ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. Find out more at http://www.campuscrusadeforchrist.com/. The Indy Christmas Conference takes place in downtown Indianapolis at the Indiana Convention Center from December 28 to January 1. Last year, 2,200 college students from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio made the trip in order to learn more about growing closer to God.
Life Options
Life Options is a weekend conference designed to prepare college students for a life of ministry (regardless of career) after they leave college/CCC. CCC may be a part of one’s life/ministry during the college years, but what happens after that? Life Options focuses on how to turn “ministry” into a lifestyle that will last when college is past. While it was initially designed for upperclassmen and those soon to be leaving college, it is still extremely applicable to all.
Spring Break
This year, we will be sending students on two trips over spring break. One option will be to travel to New Orleans to provide relief to survivors of Hurricane Katrina and show them the love of Christ. If you are interested in this trip, please contact Luke Jordan. The second option is to spend a week in Rome, Italy doing ministry on a college campus in the heart of the city. If you are interested in this trip, please contact Perry Poteet. These trips provide a great opportunity for students to devote their time and resources to reaching all people with the Gospel of Jesus. .
Project
Campus Crusade for Christ’s Summer Opportunities offer an incredible, life-changing experience that will shape your character and focus your life’s mission. Share the gospel at a resort location in the United States, reach the lost in a foreign land, or stretch your faith on any number of the specially designed summer projects offered this year. To learn more about summer project experiences and opportunities, talk with Katie Naugle.
STINT
Go on STINT or Short Term INTernational to places like Moscow State University, Kazgu University in Almaty, Cité Universitaire of Paris, University of Nairobi, and Osaka City University. You can touch the 100 million students of the world by spending a year on campus in another country. Imagine you and a team of your friends going on a STINT taking the gospel to students who may have never heard the name Jesus Christ. Walk cobblestone streets in major cities of the world while discipling national believers who will carry on the message and the ministry after you leave. You could have a direct impact on the world, a country, and a campus for years to come by touching the lives of a few students. Take a year on STINT and go to the world.
