A Week in the Life of a Summer Projecter

Hearken! Another beautiful week in Salerno. God is doing some amazing things, and we are truly fortunate to be a part of the harvest. As of this writing, we have seen 16 students come to know Christ! You may be wondering: 'Hey, what exactly happens on summer project? What do these guys do all week?' If these and other questions have been lingering in your mind since you found out your son/daughter/friend/roommate/sibling/aquaintance was going to Italy for 6 weeks, then this is the post for you. Here's a little summary of what happens during a typical week on project.

Monday through Friday : The biggest part of the day is spent on campus attempting to initiate conversations or following up on conversations that we've already had. We also have a number of different events that happen throughout the week.

Monday:
Monday morning we have a time of group prayer over the campus and a time of evangelism training.

Tuesday:
Tuesday morning we have our small group Bible study. We are studying the book of Galatians. Tuesday night, we have our family group book club. We are reading a biography of Adoniram Judson, the first missionary to Burma.

Wednesday:
Wednesday night is men and women's time. The men are studying 'Thoughts for Young Men' by J.C. Ryle, while the women discuss something things so mysterious and secretive that this blogger is not privy to the details.

Thursday:
Thursday night is the time for our outreach BBQ, where we invite all of the students we've met over the week to come to our hotel for a time of fellowship and grilled meat.

Saturday is our day for traveling, where we have our horizons expanded and take in the natural revelation that is Italy. Last Saturday, the Amalphi coast. This week, Paestum.

Sunday mornings we all get together and watch a sermon from a series by John Piper called 'The Blazing Center.'

So there you have it, a week in the life of a summer project member. Exciting, I know. Our schedule is pretty busy, but we're all able to spend plenty of time in the word and in fellowship with each other. We will try and keep you up to with everything that is happening, so that you can keep us in your prayers. Stay excited, we are witnessing an amazing work of God!

"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." - Acts 2:46-47
