Thank you for helping me serve others by doing something I love: serving YOU! 10% of JMPR's profit supports the missionaries and churches listed below. I love hearing about the amazing, loving acts of God through the adventures and stories of these wonderful people. You can read about their ministries and check out their blogs to see how they're doing and how you can pray for them. If you know someone who is in need of support, let me know!

LEAH & MATT ST.PIERRE
City Cru – San Francisco, CA (Campus Crusade for Christ)
Blog: www.mattandleahstpierre.blogspot.com
Ministry website: www.citycru.org
Email: leah.stpierre@uscm.org

About our ministry:
Matt and I are working at San Francisco State University to bring the message and love of Jesus Christ to the campus and city, and to help students see the implications of this kind of love on their lives. The vision of City Cru is that every student in San Francisco would experience the transformative love of Christ. Our values are communal learning, social compassion, and intentional faith, and we try to live these out in everything we do- whether it's weekly prayer, our weekly meeting, our involvement with homeless feeding programs, the creation of the Orphan Scholarship Fund, weekly Bible studies, prayer and worship nights, and other fun community activities. We have seen God move in great ways since the beginning of this school year to bring many new students into our group and to see them be growing in their understanding of who Jesus is. We feel privileged and humbled to be a part of the work God is doing in the lives of these college students in San Francisco and are so thankful to be learning from them, as well. We wouldn't be here without the love, support, and sacrifice of many others who believe that God loves San Francisco and has a plan to bring many to Himself.

2) High School Girl's Ministry- I lead our weekly bible studies, mentor girls one-on-one, and throw really cool dinner parties, and freaky food friday events.
3) A little bit of everything else. small groups, kid's camp, church retreats, Sunday service, and much more!
I am so blessed to serve our mighty God in Aix en Provence. I am overjoyed to watch God be God, bring people to himself, change lives, and be the God of hope and redemption.

SADDLEBACK CHURCH
Lake Forest, CA
Ministry websites: saddleback.com

About this church:
This church has helped me grow in my spiritual walk in so many ways! Where to begin? Here are a few fun facts:
# I am in awe of the sacrifices, accomplishments and commitment of its members
# In October 2010, Saddleback church completed its goal to go and serve every country in the world
# Saddleback has over 4,000 small groups that meet in homes and workplaces
# This church is BIG! And I like it;)
# I was baptized through this church at Doheny Beach in August 2007
# I am involved with the graphics ministry and the PICS ministry.

A Personal Note:
Giving is not about the amount or whether God needs/depends on this money to do His work. It is about my heart, giving joyfully and recognizing that God is my true provider. I love being a part of something so much bigger than myself. Being involved allows me to experience the praises and heartache along with the people I support. God has blessed, stretched and grown my faith and continues to do so. He made me "me." He gave me my talents…and this is one way I can continuously surrender my heart. I am forever thankful.
