Who says you can't recycle blogs??

So, I decided to be eco-friendly and do some blog recycling...

So...although this was my blog from my Buenos Aires Summer Project trip in 2008, I'm going to recycle it and use it for my STINT blog as well. Genius, I know. :)

For those of you who don't know, here's my story:

During my time studying marketing and Spanish at Clemson University, I became involved with Campus Crusade for Christ, an interdenominational Christian missions organization. From my freshman to senior year, I was part of a Bible study with girls my age and was discipled one-on-one by a Campus Crusade staff woman on my campus. I experienced immense growth in my relationship with Christ and was even able to start my own Campus Crusade Bible study and disciple a few girls who were in that group. The summer after my freshman year, I went on a five-week summer project with Campus Crusade to Buenos Aires, Argentina and experienced intentional evangelism and outreach like I never had before. I learned firsthand that evangelism truly is sharing the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the results up to God. I saw God use me in incredible ways that summer, especially when I chose to step out in faith and obey His promptings.

Since then, God has repeatedly brought Argentine people into my life in various ways and has clearly shown me that He wants me to return one day. For that reason, I am very excited that I now have the opportunity to return to Buenos Aires for a longer period of time and answer God’s call on my life.

So, from September 2011 until November 2012, I will be part of Campus Crusade’s Buenos Aires STINT (short-term international) team and will be assisting the national staff as they lead the Argentine Campus Crusade movement, known as Vida Estudiantil. My main responsibilities will include engaging in spiritual conversations with students on campus, conducting campus outreaches, leading Bible studies, and discipling female students currently involved in Vida Estudiantil. I will also help organize Vida Estudiantil mission trips, conferences, retreats, and weekly meetings. As the female STINT team leader, I will help direct the vision and mission of our team’s ministry efforts and be the liaison between the Argentine national staff and our STINT team.

However, before I leave on September 6th, I face the challenge of finding a team of ministry partners who will support me both through prayer and financially. I would greatly appreciate your prayers this summer as I meet with small groups, churches, families, and individuals and share with them my heart for Argentine students and my vision for this upcoming year.

Dios les bendiga! :)
