the school year draws to a close, students begin

making their plans for the summer. Most of them go home to

family while others stay and work on campus. Some students often

participate in missions trips either through their church or with friends

These missions trips take them out of their own culture and into for­

eign countries to spread the Gospel. This past summer, Ashley Hervas

traveled to Japan for an experience she would never forget. "While we

were in Japan we had the opportunity to minister in many different ways

such as teaching child and adult English classes, cleaning the church and

school, playing our flutes in chapel and Sunday services, and helping

with the joy club ministry and the nursing home ministry. While we were

involved with these ministries we saw much fruit from our labor."

Elizabeth Taglianetti was also was involved in missions work this

past summer, but closer to home. Elizabeth worked with CEF (Chris­

tian Evangelism Fellowship) in Connecticut for the summer helping

to reach others for Christ. "This summer I interned with the Child

Evangelism Fellowship chapter of Connecticut. It was such an amazing

experience! God brought me to a place that was many miles away from

home where I didn’t know anyone else. I learned to depend on Flim in

Summer missions trips allow students to see what the Lord has

been doing all over the world.
