This Spring Break our staff and 8 students met up with Mississippi State, UGA, College of Charleston, & the New York Crusade team for seven days in the Big Apple! For two of the days, we were divided into teams of four and sent onto campuses throughout New York where we began spiritual conversations, took surveys, and shared the Gospel with as many students as possible. One day we packed sack lunches, divided into new groups of 3-5 and ventured throughout Manhattan to share a meal and our faith with the homeless. The conversations we had were incredible and the practice the students received for sharing their faith with their friends was invaluable. 

And let me tell you, these Alabama students blew my socks off! Every time I turned around, one of them was talking about Jesus to a stranger on the subway, cashier, cab driver, customer in a restaurant - anywhere and everywhere! What's even more surprising is that, prior to the trip, almost none of them had presented the Gospel to their friends, much less strangers! The conversations were so natural, so genuine- I could not help but overflow with pride that I get to be associated with such amazing folks. Seriously.
