Our mission with Campus Crusade for Christ is "Turning lost students into Christ-centered laborers." We are currently in the Twin Cities, where Trent provides tech support for the Upper Midwest Region and Tara reaches college students on Metro campuses. We post a letter each month with encouraging stories, and we ask you to join us in praying for the Great Commission to be fulfilled. Feel free to leave a note in the guestbook, and thank you for your support!

Just like May, this one is a collage of pictures from our summer. Please pray for these people - they need a relationship with God.

Tara and Trent go to France! Our group was 15 in total.
This newsletter has more pictures and fewer words for an easy read! Okay, so it is mostly pictures, but think of how many words they represent!
Saying Goodbye and Reminiscing
After a summer full of stories and fun, we had a few more to share at the very end. It's easy for this whole thing to feel like a dream, especially as the students go back to their normal lives around people who weren't able to share this journey... and so I pray that they don't forget. :-)
This video documents our final times with friends,an outreach in Montpellier, stats for the summer, and then some of the sites in Paris. :-)
After this, I only have one more video including the project! I will also document some of our personal time here, and then hopefully I can cut together a video that re-caps the entire summer. I can't promise how quickly that will come, though, but it is worth the time!
Stats to celebrate what God did in 5 weeks!! :
1,049 Initiated conversations (mostly on campuses)
353 Spiritual conversations (talking about God or faith in general)
109 Jesus conversations (talking about the person of Christ, but not the Gospel)
111 Gospel presentations- getting to explain to someone the Good News of how they can personally start a relationship with God!
Lastly, we each made a personal goal of how many French friends we could meet with multiple times throughout the summer, and we added it up to a total goal of 68 friends. The actual number of solid friends that we wrote letters and printed pictures for (so that the Stinters coming in can give it to them as gifts) is: 99!
