UBC Point is a new church plant situated right on the UBC campus in Vancouver.  It is affiliated with "The Point" church, a university community church located on the Simon Frazer University campus. The focus of UBC Point is:

1. To reach out to university students on campus.  There are 43,000 students at UBC but it is estimated that only 2.3% are Christians. This campus is multi-ethnic with diversified groups of people from all over the world.  This provides great opportunities for sharing Christ with people from many nations.
2. To reach out to the communities around the campus.  One thing that makes UBC unique is that many new residential housing developments have been established on and adjacent to the campus in the past few years. There are opportunities to reach into these communities that are closely tied to the university environment.
3. UBC Point aims to establish itself as a house/community church, where students and working people can gather regularly for fellowship and spiritual encouragement.

Missionaries will be involved in relational activities among UBC students including: sports, English corner, and "hanging out" on campus. Plans are for a childrens sport camp in the community and to participate in servant ministry projects. Missionaries will also lead weekly discipleship and Bible study meetings and will help the UBC Point prepare for the UBC campus outreach programs.

Ridgecrest Baptist Church

Hamilton, Ontario

June 23 -Aug. 2, 2007 (Dates are Flexible)

1 student requested

Ridgecrest Baptist Church is a unique work in many ways. It is an inner city work deep in the heart of Hamilton's troubled East end. As a result most of its members have come from troubled backgrounds. They deal daily with the pain of addiction recovery and broken relationships. They are symbols of God's immeasurable grace in light of human frailty. Roughly forty percent of their membership have physical or mental disabilities. In several cases Ridgecrest is the only church that offers a spiritual home to the marginalised in the city.

The work is difficult to be sure. The list of challenges both spiritual and physical is lengthy. Ridgecrest may lack the resources of many 'traditional' churches but they are wealthy in Spirit. Ridgecrest is a family. They love one another. Though marginalised by society, they are accepted by Christ.

Summer Missionaries will:

• help in inner-city ministry among children/youth
• work to make the library more friendly and accessible.
• give attention to sharing the gospel with youth and children in the community.
