Summer Projects | Campus Crusade for Christ

Milwaukee bills itself as "The Genuine American City". In many ways, it is a city of contrasts. There is exciting ethnic diversity, but real racial tension. In fact, the LA Times rated Milwaukee as the most segregated city in the nation. It is a city of art and culture boasting one of the most beautiful art museums in the nation and dotted with classic mansions from Milwaukee's day of glory, but it also includes widespread areas of poverty and despair. The 2000 census reported that over 40 percent of the children in Milwaukee live below the poverty level ranking it fourth in the nation. It is in this environment that we will seek to minister God's grace this summer.
During the fast-paced eight week project we will seek to grow together and learn about a variety of topics: team building, reconciliation, evangelism, justice, leadership and service. You will experience worship and fellowship with other cultures and get a vision of who God is through the eyes of the people of the city. Your hands-on ministry may include working with children in tutoring and mentoring programs, helping the homeless, and possibly doing a work projects with a local churches. You will work hard serving people while forming bonds with your fellow students living in Christian community. For more information, go to www.seizeit.org.
