Wednesday night, project had guys and girl's time once again. Disciples really enjoyed their time. Girls and guys met at their respective meeting locations and spent time asking questions to a pnel formed by team leaders. As for Thursday, after a long day of work it was show time. Guys had to perform a synchronized swimming routine for the ladies in order to win a group date for the night. However, because of a storm the show had to be stopped, nevertheless, every guy's room was paired up with a girl's room for the night.
Disciples are starting to work on cleaning. They have been given a list with the different tasks that need to be done before everyone leaves project.

Matthew 28:18-20
Last night Mike Polley's talk moved students to think about prayer. "It was good to remember that, we love to pray, but it is hard to because of our sinfulness," Kerri Kolton says. Furthermore, after theme night, disciples made their way to the beach where they prayed for the lost, for relatives and for project in general. It was a sweet way to finish the day.As for today is evangelism training, James Gisler has the microphone once again. Please pray that God can use him and work through him to impact the lives of the students.

Summer Beach Project, Testimony Week 5
Here you have the Testimony of one of the CCP members. Our apologies to you for not having it before in time. Please, keep praying for the CCP India Team. "How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?" So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." Romans 10:14-17
-Coming up, new testimonies-

Last night, as you already know, Jack Thompson led bible training. His talk was about the "application" of Scripture, and the importance of it. It was an edifying time for all the disciples to remember that if one wants to be transformed by the Gospel, it is essential to believe it. Supper and team time was moved to Okey's church (Pine Drive Gospel) due to rain and some difficulties with getting the project meal on time.
As for today, Mike Polley is in charge of theme night once again. He will be sharing about "Prayer," the power of an exile. Once again, we would appreciate if you can keep Mike Polley and the disciples in your prayers as they study the Word.

As is true of today, the weekend at project is usually slow. Many of the disciples go on group dates or take naps, grinding activity at project to a near halt, which is fine for most who are drained from a busy week. After Life Training with Reid Jilek and services at their respective churches, disciples still have the time to pray for the world. So far, more than half the world has been pinned for prayer, as disciples fill a world map with tacks as they pray for each country. As pins fill up the world map, God's presence over the whole earth is awe-inspiring.
Keep praying for the World
Today, students keep praying for the different countries around the world. Since Saturday mornings are free, most of the disciples take the advantage of going on the beach and pray or have their D-groups with their rooms. The focus from now on is getting ready to depart and take everything they have learned back with them to their different campuses. Therefore, we would appreciate if you keep praying for us as we look ahead to the coming year.
Remember to check <the gallery> for new photos, it has been reorganized by week for easier accessibility. There are also new audio content from this week's various training sessions.

syrup- one of the four main food groups
During last nights social, disciples had a lot of fun exchanging gifts, making gingerbread houses, and watching Elf. Each room dressed up creatively as angels, reindeer, shepherds, jingle bells, elves, and even a manger. They also had the chance to sit and take photos with Santa and Ms Claus, Mike Polley and Emilie Toll respectively. <The gallery> which has lost some momentum the past couple weeks will be going through a major update sometime today, look forward to pictures from the past socials and more.
Christmas in July
Students are surprised with the thought that in three weeks project is going to be over. However, most of the students are excited to go back home and keep developing these new friendships.Yesterday, at evangelism training, James Gisler talked about "Mercy Ministry" being a part of our every day life. Later on, students did something different. Each room read an article about the doctrine of Hell, then spent time at the beach praying for people and meditated on "the hideous doctrine may grip our souls in dark terror and make us weep, but let us be sure it also prompts us to holiness and compassion." (John Thomas). As for tonight, social is taking place at project.

wednesday has two d's and e's
Mike Polley shared during Theme Training on discipleship, encouraging disciples to keep the chain going. The definition of discipleship is one's intentional living and sharing into another person's life to push them towards Christ. Mike Polley talked about his personal experience as a disciple and a mentor observing that the relationship is not one of tutor and student, but something closer to father and son.
James Gisler's team is leading the theme for this week.The theme is Christmas in July. Disciples on his team will be washing and cleaning the cars on project for the week's encouragement.The Social Time on Thursday will include a white elephant gift exchange, dressing up according to an assigned Christmas theme, plus many more "seasonal" events to celebrate Christmas in July.
Tonight, Theme Night
Last Night Josh Schrock had the opportunity to lead Bible Training. His topic was Bible Interpretation. Josh shared with us that it is easy to wrongly interpret the Bible when one does not focus on Christ. "We need to confess our sinfulness, and then repent from it." "Look at the context and let's interpret the Bible with the Bible."After Bible Training, it was team time. These times are for the students to have fellowship after a long day of work. Most of the time, teams either play games, share some goodies or just chill and hang-out. Tonight is Theme Night. Mike Polley will be talking about "Discipleship: God's pursuit for exiles." Therefore, we would appreciate if you pray for Mike and the students. -We would encourage you to watch the testimonies.

Getting ready for Bible Training, Polley and the guys having a good time.
