Urban Immersion

Today about 100 college students from around the country descended into LA for week 2 of this years 4 week urban Immersion Schedule. Urban Immersion is our short term inner city project for college students during spring break.

Tonight I spoke to the group from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. About 30 of them are spending their first night in South Central LA! They are at Lighthouse Community Ministries, an amazing ministry we just found out in the last few months. They house 8-10 women and children in their woman's home, a lifestyle-discipleship program. Pastor and Sister Hall are incredible examples of dedicated heroes of the faith, who have served there for almost 20 years.

The students will do work projects, have evangelistic outreaches and endure a poverty simulation that will give them painful insight into the life of a homeless person on the streets of LA.

We are praying for many lives to be touched these next few weeks!
