Wildwood Stats
1500 Spiritual conversations
1000 Gospel presentations
David returned to Wildwood the beginning of August to help the students "close out" the project - debrief, reflect and prepare to transition back to campus. As you may know, our staff are only at the Summer Project for the first half of the students' stay (about 5 weeks); the students remain, with the same schedule, under peer leadership for the second 5 weeks. At the end of the Summer Project:
*** There are 50 new brothers and sisters in Christ! Praise God!
*** As staff, and more specifically directors, we feel like there has been a breakthrough in our ability to encourage and resource students towards patiently demonstrating and proclaiming Jesus in the workplace. (Their workplace on summer project is their primary ministry outlet.) While this is significant for the Summer Project, it is even more significant as the students return to campus as Christ-centered laborers with tools to represent Jesus well in their dorm, their classroom, and their post-college workplace.
*** There are Incredible numbers of international students present in Wildwood. Entire city blocks are inhabited by only young college students from overseas trying to make money over the summer. Our students began the process of decoding the best ways to have an impact among this group of people in summers to come. Several international students met Jesus over the summer, and several international students who already follow Jesus connected with our project, were a wonderful encouragement to our students, and were encouraged by our students.
