Campus Crusade is urging Ole Miss students to think twice about summer plans. Camps Crusade for Christ is a student organization that meets every Tuesday night at 8 PM in Paris-Yates Chapel on the Oxford campus. But the mission statement of Crusade goes much further than a weekly meeting.
“Our mission is to win people to Christ, build them in their faith, and send them out to win, build and send others." said Ole Miss Crusade intern, Christie Annenkey.
Ole Miss Campus Crusade offers many trips, conferences and retreats throughout the year to build student relationships with the Lord.
A popular summer project is Greek Summit. It was founded by Isaac Jenkins, the Ole Miss Crusade leader, over ten years ago to encourage students in the Greek system to become an influence in their house on campus.
Katherine Johnson, a sophomore at Ole Miss, attended the project last summer.
“Greek Summit made my faith go from routine to a real relationship with the Lord. Before, I thought Christianity was all about a checklist and doing the right thing and looking like I had it all together. But it’s not that at all.”
Greek Summit is May 12 til May 29 in Destin, Florida. Approximately 60 students will be attending throughout the Southeastern Conference.
“Summer projects are considered to be a core part of Crusades ministry to college students, it is where students really get a heart for the world and for their area of influence, as well as practical training on how to have a ministry there.” Said Annenkey.
If you are not involved in the Greek system, but are interested in Campus Crusade summer projects, there are hundreds to choose from all over the world.
