She looked up and said, l wish you were my mommy. Later she drew pic- tures with the printed message, I love you, mommy. The need to show God's love in all situ- ations is awesome. College students here have a variety of opportunities to respond to needs through their Chris- tian Service projects. Many students really enjoy their C.S. Eddie Rivera and Melody Blevins start- ed what they call The Kingdom Kids Club for inner city kids. The club meets every Wednesday night here on campus. Through a summer C.S. pro- ject Eddie and Melody developed a burden for these kids who are so often forgotten. Mike Spencer is another example of a student who is very much involved in a C.S. project. Mike has been youth pas- tor at Northside Missionary Church for two years. He says that the biggest pressures that youth face today aren't the pressures to drink, smoke, or do drugs: the biggest pressures come from broken homes or from homes where Mom and Dad don't get along. These types of homes cause a lot of instability in the life of a teenager be- cause he or she never knows what to expect at home: thus he may resort to things such as drinking, drugs, or even suicide to get rid of that feeling of inse- curity. Mike's goal for his young people is that they become stable mature Christians so that they won't always be on a spiri- tual roller coaster ride. Mike says of his C.S. project: I've realized the awesome responsibility of leading young people. These are just a couple of brief reports on C.S. projects. There are many sto- ries that go untold which would empha- size the fact that though C.S. projects are a requirement for three out of the student's four years, they are also great opportunities to serve and learn.
