The Holy Spirit continues to open more and more doors of opportunity for us to introduce Millennials to the rural mission field! Next summer we are targeting rural communities in 4 different states. For the past two years we have had our eyes on the northeast part of the US hoping to partner with Ohio Valley University in targeting rural communities in the Ohio Valley Region. It appears that God is opening that door for us in 2016 as the pieces are coming together to recruit, equip and send a team to Rittman, OH. Take a few minutes to pray for each of the following communities where we are planning to send student teams in the summer of 2016. Please pray for the Lord to provide the 20-25 students we will need to man these teams and pray for the leaders who will lead them. Praise God for all that He has done so far and for what He is about to do next!
