Semester review and current needs for year end gifts

Dear friends and supporters,

Fall 2011 was an exciting and fruitful season of ministry at Georgia Tech. By God's grace we were able to build our staff team and student leaders into a compelling and caring community. As we shared the life changing truths of God's word with students we saw students grow in their faith and even saw students come to know Christ for their first time!

Our ministry to students is a wonderful partnership. The people who support us and our team are all trusting in the grace of God through Christ together to reach out and make disciples among a strategic group of young men and women.

As finish the calendar year, we ask friends like you to consider giving to our special support needs. Here are the major categories and specific things we need funds for the remainder of the school year. You can give to our ministry online at give.ccci.org/give/6206612.  


Hospitality - Did you know that most students are never invited into the home of a
community member during college? We find that sharing our home
and food with both Christian and not-yet Christian students is a beautiful and fruitful way to
share Christ’s love.
$100 provides Bible study snacks to one investigative Bible study group for
an entire school year (we have several of these groups).
$300 provides a group dinner for up to 8 students every month for an entire
school year.
 $500 provides for two large dinner outreaches during the school year
 $1000 provides for service retreats and getaway weekends during which we
can spend extended time with those who don’t yet know the Lord.

Training and Discipleship.This item in our special ministry expenses includes the

support costs for personal evangelism, small group Bible studies, and our annual conferences.
We estimate these expenses to be a little over $400 per month.
 One $5000 gift or Ten gifts of $500


Our Mobile Office. We are in the people and information business. We constantly email,
update Facebook, Tweet, write, blog, make videos…whatever it takes to get the word out and
organize chaos.  We currently need to replace one computer, a printer, and budget for our annual office supplies.
One Time:
 $1000 Cost of one new laptop computer, software,
 $200 Cost of one printer and wireless router
Monthly:
 $100/month for mobile phone expenses
 $50/month for paper, ink, and other supplies

Online donations can be made: give.ccci.org/give/6206612

Thanks so much for considering these needs and for all your prayer and support so far this year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
