FREE DAY
Since yesterday was the last day of work, many disciples jumped into the pool last night with their job uniforms on as a SBP tradition. Today is a free day and disciples are heading different directions. A good amount of disciples are visiting Charleston, others are going to be visiting North Myrtle, and some are just going to stay around project and enjoy the day.
four teams and four corners
Staff came back late yesterday much to the excitement of project. There was also a Job Social where disciples entertained co-workers with skits and also had the chance of sharing the Gospel and the reason they were on Beach Project and working in SC. All of project went through a time of evaluation and reflection this morning as disciples continue to prepare for their return to their campus. After that disciples went back to work or relaxed, knowing that their job this summer is over. Activity on project is indeed growing as more and more people are finishing their jobs and isntead spending time with each other and the staff.
Big Arrival
Last night the U of M students gathered at the beach to pray for their campus, after enjoying some goodies made by the girls."It was Amazing" says Charlie Schumacher. As for today, Staff should be arriving project around 5:00 pm, which makes the disciples excited. Furthermore, the project social is gonig to be having special visitors. We are expecting a great number of co-workers from the different places that disciples have been working throughout this summer. This social meal will be followed with a Gospel presentation led by Justin Richardson. So, we would appreciated if you pray for tonight's activities.

This is a short clip from Theme Night.
six plus four is ten team leaders
Wednesday this week is a little different. After evangelism, instead of debriefing, disciples will be cleaning in anticipation of the returning staff. There will also be a communal time of prayer held this evening. Continuing last week, James Gisler will share with us during Evangelism Training. He will be speaking on "The Gospel and the Campus."Otherwise today is pretty standard, the team leaders are just getting back from their Leadership Training Session. Until training today, disciples have been getting in the word and meditating on what they have learned from last night. There is still so much to be done and be thankful for even on the last week of project.
seven days fom tuesday is tuesday
During Bible Study Training, Josh Schrock focused on Meditation. He shared on its significance in the Christian walk, that as needy people, Christians need to constantly meditate on Scripture and internalize its truths in order to grow. There was Team Time after that. Most of the teams got their team shirts today and many disciples wore them last night before curfew.
Mike Polley will be leading the final Theme Training today. He will be sharing on "Suffering: Living in Exile."
eight is the days we have left
Tonight we have the final Bible Study Training headed by Josh Scrock. These last couple days will be directed toward reflecting and focusing on our vision for our various campuses in the coming semester. Natin Moreno says, "Please be praying for courage and boldness as these dashing young students are impassioned by the grace of our loving God." For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain -Philippians 1:21 (ESV).
nine weeks on SBP
...and nine days later we will all be back home. Feels like another great weekend coming to a close. Disciples spending their time going on group dates, swimming in the ocean, doing laundry, and a fun game of mafia under the tent. Besides the reports from the fireworks and the cheers of people riding the air-launched swing next door to us, it is very tranquil here on project. Rev. Okey is once again sharing with the disciples after a worship session led by Dan Harper.
Some of the disciples had lunch with their co-workers on project today, a little taste of the job social to come. There are a lot to look forward to this week, including the return of the staff later this week.

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.

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
