"This weekend is growing in my heart a love for evangelism and I'm coming more and more to realize how great the Gospel truly is."

So Nicole, a new campus mentor, reflects on the CSP training retreat last weekend. The theme of the weekend was So Great a Salvation, and I don't think there was one person who didn't leave the training pumped about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The team being training

100 CSP staff and college students mentors from Biola, APU and Calvary Chapel Bible College attended the retreat at a cozy camp near Big Bear. The staff focused most of the training on

why CSP exists: the Good News of Christ and the need to tell as many people as possible.

The weekend culminated with a powerful evening of praying over the schools the college students will be mentoring and sharing their commitments to reach the lost at each school.

The whole team

As Tyler, another campus mentor shared, "After this retreat, I am more excited to work with my high school, Fullerton HS, and I feel more capable to talk about the Gospel with people I have never met."

We can't think of a better beginning to the ministry year than focusing on the Good News of Jesus Christ.
