Please pray as we prepare to attend the Great Lakes Chi Alpha SALT 2014 Conference: Metamorphosis, Become New Through Jesus beginning January 2, 2014 in Indianapolis, IN.  We will be taking four students!  Tom, Charity, and Laura (one of the volunteer staff members) are the leadership attending from OSU.  Please be praying that God will show Himself to the students and that they will have an authentic encounter with Him!  Looking forward to sharing testimonies when we return!  

We are continuing to raise our budget so that we can be full-time at the start of the new semester on January 6th.  If you are considering a financial gift, please remember that you can receive tax credit for 2013 through December 31st.  Please consider helping us be full-time at the start of this new semester!  The students NEED Jesus and they NEED you to help us bring Him to them!    

Happy New Year!  

With Love, 

The Kurz Family 

Oh where oh where has this semester gone?!

Hi Friends, Family, and Supporters,

I know that it has been awhile since we have posted but I wanted to take some time and update each of you!  We have had such an awesome semester getting to know the students and volunteers. Tom and I had a few opportunities to share at the Thursday night meetings.  I had the opportunity to work on developing the worship team.  I have been mentoring the worship leader and helping him to create a solid team who loves Jesus and loves to worship Him.  We attended the Ohio Chi Alpha Fall Breakaway at the beginning of October.  Here is a silly picture of the group:  

We had such a GREAT time at Fall Breakaway getting to know the students and watching them hunger after God!  We are looking forward to our last semester get together tomorrow night as we celebrate Christmas together.  Look for those pics soon!

On the support raising front, we have gained quite a bit of ground.  We are praying that the last $900 will come quickly.  We have some people that have promised to pick us up come January 1st so we are praying that between those faith promises and others that we pick up in the next few weeks that we will have this raised.  This is such a trying process.  Very grateful that I have a job to help us cover expenses.  Living in Columbus is EXPENSIVE but God has been faithful to us providing what we need.  Will you consider joining our team by supporting us financially and prayerfully?  The students at The Ohio State University need Jesus and they need you to support us so that we can have the opportunity to pour into their lives.  Universities and colleges are some of the 'darkest' places in the world.  Evil is concentrated on the college/university campus.  We are believing God to provide the financial need because we know that He has called us "for such a time as this."  Many blessings to each of you!  We love you!

Sincerely,

Charity
