Current Financial Needs

Everyone knows it takes money to run a ministry and Chi Alpha is no different. Derrick and I are blessed to actually be required by our national supervisors to raise a full budget to be active on campus full-time. The stress of trying to run an active ministry in addition to maintaining a full or even part-time job is too much for one person to handle. Derrick and I know that the sacrifices of our financial support team members make it possible for us to do what we do and we love you guys for it! Seriously! We think about you guys all the time - we pray for you and your families. Thank you for giving!

Please pray about what you can do to be part of the work God is doing at SFA, and see below for a list of our current financial needs!

World Missions Summit 2

Every December Chi Alpha hosts a regional event called SALT - once every four years The World Missions Summit takes the place of all the SALT conference around the country and everyone meets together for one world-wide conference! This year's conference is being held in Cincinnati, OH and we are very excited about the chance to expose our SFA students to God's plan for the whole world.

A few of the practical aspects of making this trip happen:

1. Travel Plans - Cincinnati = WINTER = SNOW! We need wisdom to know whether to try to ride a district bus or let the students drive themselves to the conference. The bus will be more expensive, but should be more safe.
2. Cost - The overall cost for a student to attend TWMS is about $300. Most college students don't just have an extra $300 lying around, so we need to help them raise that money.
3. Family Plans - Christmas / New Year's is always prime time for family gatherings.

Would you please pray with us for the students and this trip? We have been once before and God really does use this conference to speak to people about His heart for the world. Students will absolutely NOT regret going - we just have to get them there! Please pray with us for the things mentioned above: to know which travel option to choose, to have successful fundraisers with the students, and for families to be willing to work around the conference so students can come with us!
