Our students served in July 2008 through World Changers. They joined others in Clovis, CA (300 participants) to work on homes of people who needed their houses reroofed, cleaned, fences torn down and rebuilt, or needed wheelchair ramps built. Student and adult participants paid for the opportunity with their own funds, worked hard all week, and saw several people come to Christ as a result of their hard labor and warm hearts towards those they were helping.

In the past, still other students joined Royal Servants and served in Costa Rica, Africa and China, doing street drama, and ministering to the hearts of the native countrymen. This huge opportunity for growth has inspired a deeper understanding in each one that they can be used of Christ to reach and teach others the glorious plan of salvation.

Still others joined with the North American Mission Board and served in South Carolina and Idaho as Summer Missionaries, working with Vacation Bible School, Upward Basketball, Youth Camp, children's activities and more.
