Spring Break Missions Belize, 2015 Spring Break Missions Transform Lives Well, it’s almost that time of year again for our students and leaders here at Asbury to go on…Spring Break Missions! Our goal with Spring Break Missions is to mobilize students for God’s heart for the world. If you had the opportunity to go on Spring Break Missions when you were growing up, you know what a powerful, life-changing experience it can be. We hear so many wonderful stories every year of how these trips impact our students and help them grow in their spiritual journey. Our prayer is that students return with a better understanding of the biblical mandate for missions and God’s heart for every tongue, tribe and nation. We want our students to come back more capable of sharing their faith and more inspired to do so.

Current Sermon Series March 6 - As followers of Jesus, we must know what threatens our faith and be ready for it. We can expect pressure, but we can also anticipate God’s abundant resources. We must be on our guard but not live in fear. Endurance is Jesus’ call to stand firm in our life with God, throughout life’s challenges. If we don’t endure to the end, then the beginning doesn’t really matter.
