Prayer Letter June 2010

Summit is a two week urban project designed to explore core InterVarsity values. We spend six hours a day volunteering with local service agencies. We spend two hours each afternoon in prayer, praying for transformation in the neighborhood as well as in our own lives. We live simply, cooking our own meals with healthy and filling ingredients. We limit our cell phone usage so that we can spend more time with each other. We study scripture together to learn more about the character of God and His heart for the world. We watch videos about individuals who have lived out these values in their lives like Mother Teresa. For two weeks, we soak students in the values of simplicity, prayer, community and service. They leave in a process of transformation. A few highlights from students:

• “I learned a lot about prayer and I think that as I spend much more time in prayer, that God will change my life.”
• “Summit has changed my perspective on how to approach intimacy with God. As I leave, the greatest change will be in my daily walk with God. I know now my need to daily surrender my power to God as an act of dependence and invite him in to speak and work.”
