Organizations such as lntervarsity Christian Fellowship, Campus Cru sade for Christ International, Fellow ship of Christian Athletes, the Newman Catholic Student Center and the Wesley Foundation continue their campus ministries during the summer in various ways. The programs include summer projects, outreach programs and membership enrichment seminars. lntervarsity plans several activities for students to get involved with over the summer, according to Terri Shoffner, a senior psychology major from Greensboro who leads an lntervarsity small-group Bible study in Hinton James Residence Hall. lntervarsity, an interdenomina tional Christian fellowship group, conducts two overseas programs . the Student Missions Training pro gram and the Overseas Training Camp. Students begin preparing during the school year for Student Missions, a program which allows students to travel to a specific village in a designated country, where they stay for the entire summer. Students apply for the Missions program in the fall. They read books and articles related to the program and do training exercises during the week. And one weekend each month, the students receive intensive training in cross-cultural topics, Shoffner said. The Overseas Training Camp is different from the Missions program because no pre-trip training is given, she said, and students can travel ""n yf f'w rryt 1 "Every year, the work team alter nates from a project out of the country to one in the country. " Lisa Allen around in a designated country ministering to different villages. Fourteen students from UNC will be attending the overseas camp this summer most of them members of lntervarsity, Shoffner said. The group also has a Myrtle Beach Evangelism Project, which lasts from May to August. Students receive training in expressing their faith to others, as well as participating in group prayer, worship and fellowship. And a Discipleship Project in Charlottesville, Va., from June to August gives group members a chance to grow in their Christian relationships at a summer get-away, Shoffner said. The Wesley Foundation, a Meth odist student group, will send a work team to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, said Lisa Allen, a junior from Bowie, Mary land, and a work team member who serves on the foundation's student council. The group of 27 people, will be leaving May 10 for their 10-day trip, where they will be working on a church for the villagers. "Every year, the work team alter nates from a project out of the country to one in the country," Allen said. Last year, the team went to New York City to work on an inner-city project. The work team has fund raisers throughout the year to raise some of the $600 needed to send each member of the work team to the project. Although the cost to individuals varies yearly, the maximum cost per student for the trip this year should be about $400, Allen said. THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION MEMORIAL PROGRAM WERE FIGHTING FOR OURLIFE American Hoart Association This space provided as a Dublic service. The Newman C: rter, a Catholic church for both students and com munity members, will be sending, students on a foreign project in a program co-sponsored by St. Tho mas More CathoH; Church. Kevin Furman, a junior from Castle Havne whn i a ramniis minister at the Newman Center said the two groups had raised money to go to a small Mexican village where students would set up educational and vaccination systems, as well as help "establish a water system for the village. Fellowship of Christian Athletes, an interdenominational group com posed of athletes arid non-athletes, sends its members to weekly YMCA summer conierences as counselors on A A 1 I :j I 1 I an liiuiviuuax uasis, suu juiiii uuiz., FCA's faculty adviser. Although 25 such conferences are conducted nationally, he said, most UNC students attend acamp in Black Mountain where they act as Bible study leaders, athletic team players and camp counselors for high school students. "High school athletes and college athletes have a chance to play sports together," Lotz said. . . . Steve Hale (former UNC basketball player and FCA member) went to that camp." Drew Van Horn, assistant state director for FCA, said FCA members are also sent to national camps not necessarily FCA-sponsored camps to work as one-on-one counselors with troubled children. Campus Crusade for Christ Inter national, an interdenominational Christian fellowship group, has summer projects in both the United States and overseas for its members. "Our goal is the same for the overseas ministry as it is for our campus ministry: to win people to Christ, build them in their faith and send them out to share with others," said Carol Matthews, associate campus director for Campus Crusade. Members often use a film about the life of Jesus Christ to commun icate the gospel so that people can view the fdm in their own languages, Matthews said. In.some countries, Matthews said, students work through "one-on-one evangelism," while in others, they speak in large groups. ttIt depends on the country you're in," she said. Cindy courson, a senior econom ics major from Lincolnton and small group Bible study leader with Cam pus Crusade, said many projects are conducted at U.S. vacation resorts near beaches, as well as inner-city locations. Usually about 60 participants get jobs in communities for about 12 weeks, spending time on the beaches to share their faith with others, Courson said. They also lead Bible study groups where they live. Students from all over the nation meet on such projects. "It's a great opportunity to meet people," Cour son said, adding that the project participants usually live in the same apartment complex or hotel. Action Group Leaders Confer ence, held at Myrtle Beach in May, gives Crusade members a week for working on fellowship with other Christians, training in leading a Bible studyj and practicing in sharing Jheir J 3-
