LAUP 2011 Interns Worshipping Last Summer |
Tomorrow morning eighty four students and staff will gather
in Lincoln Heights and be sent out in fourteen teams to urban communities all
over the LA area including Pomona, Long Beach, Boyle Heights, South LA, and
Northwest Pasadena. This will be our
biggest group we’ve had in almost ten years, and I am really excited.
As we launch the summer, we’d love to have you participate
with us in various ways.
1) You can pray for us. I’ll send out weekly updates with specific reports and requests. For starters, please pray for God’s work on students’ hearts this first week. We’ll be in session for 12 hours each day, Monday through Thursday, anchoring students in God’s heart for the poor and teaching about systemic injustice, building relationships, and prayer.
2) You can mentor students at our LAUP alumni day. Saturday afternoon, July 28th, we’re inviting LAUP alumni or other Christians with a value for social justice to share about how they live out God’s heart for the poor in their various careers and neighborhoods. Please contact Scott if you’re interested: Scott_Hall@ivstaff.org
3) You can join the LAUP for Life campaign. We’re building an army of financial partners who want to see LAUP sustained and expanded through monthly support. The first goal of LAUP for Life is sustaining the lease of the LAUP house in South LA, through which we brought over 100 students this past year.

Thank you for being a part of the LAUP family, and for your
partnership for the future generations of LAUP students. I can’t wait to share how they are being
launched into our city and world as kingdom disciples who are living as good
news to the poor!
