Students fan out across states, nations during spring break

Nearly 500 Georgia Baptist Collegiate Ministries students spent their spring break on mission this year, serving in eight international locations, seven sites across the United States, and seven places in Georgia.

Remote villages, refugee communities

From remote villages in Guatemala to refugee communities in Clarkston, and from church plants in Montana to ministry partnerships on the Georgia coast, students used their week away from campus to share the gospel and support churches and ministries on the field.

Georgia College & State University campus minister David Kirkland said 55 students from that school served on four different teams over spring break.

In Ecuador, 15 students worked with the Happiness Foundation, an orphanage that serves children and students. Kirkland said the team worked through interpreters much of the time, but still had many meaningful gospel conversations with high school and college students.

Ten students partnered with a new church plant in Montana that had been open only 11 weeks. They focused on behind-the-scenes ministry by serving in the community, cleaning the church, and going on prayer walks in surrounding towns.

Full story.
