U.S. students can go on a short-term mission project (called a STINT) and often work with Campus Crusade staff to start ministries. We discovered a video from the staff and students who are working to reach students in Rome. After you hear about the religious vacuum in Rome, we know you will want to be praying for their ministry.

I glanced at a jade pendant dangling about two feet from my face. “Your necklace is interesting,” I said as Lindsay tied a latex strap around my arm. “It is a Japanese good luck charm,” Lindsay said, as she gently tapped my vein. I found out within a few minutes that this young phlebotomist was a Buddhist. “That’s obviously your choice,” I commented, looking at her pale skin and blue eyes. “Why did you choose Buddhism?” “I like the way they respect all of life. That’s also why I went into this work.” I commended her for wanting to help … Continue reading Caring for the Earth … and for People
