Spring Break Missions Guatemala, 2015
Spring Break is here! We all look forward to this relaxed week of spending time either on vacation or being a little less busy at work. Schools are closed and the atmosphere around town feels like the days of summer. The week is even better when the weather cooperates! This year, Asbury is sending 486 students and leaders on Spring Break Mission trips to seven places—Tulsa, Houston, Kentucky, Memphis, Belize, Jamaica and Guatemala. The most important and easiest way to get involved is to PRAY! Please pray for our students and leaders for safe travel, staying healthy throughout the trip, the communities and the people they will meet, and the boldness to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Spring Break can be a time of spiritual growth in your walk with Christ. Prayer is foundational, and you can start anywhere and anytime.
