Big Break

This week, it is spring break for one of the main campuses we work at.  Campus Crusade provides opportunities for students to use their breaks to serve the Lord, and spring break is no different!  This week, we and five SIUE students are at a conference in Panama City Beach, Florida along with 1,000 other students from 75 schools all over the country!

This week’s conference, called Big Break, is kind of an evangelism boot camp.  Students spend their mornings hearing from the word and being trained in evangelism.  Then, every afternoon we hit the beaches for about four hours to share the Gospel with the thousands of college students who come here for spring break every year.  In the evenings, students hear teaching from the Word.  It is wonderful!  Every day, students are stepping out in faith to share their faith with students who are here looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places—parties, alcohol, drugs and relationships.  We come here each year for exactly this reason: to be a light in a dark place.

This booklet is one of the main tools that we train students to use while sharing their faith - It’s a simple 4 point outline of the Gospel!
