SPOC Partners

New updates for events with SPOC Partners

International Connections

Concordia University, St. Paul currently is blessed with 285 international students from 35 different countries. The goal is that each one of them experiences God's love and hears God's Word during their time with us. As part of our international outreach, CSP has hosted a outreach events called "Chai Dosti." This year, we've rebranded our events as "International Connections" to be more inclusive of international students from all around the world. It is held on Mondays and Tuesdays from 5-6pm every other week following the grad course schedule. If you love meeting people from around the world or are passionate about cross-cultural evangelism, we would love to have you volunteer as an American friend at International Connections!

For more information or to volunteer, contact CSP Ministry Associate Anna Draper at draper@csp.edu.

Life Match Grant

The LCMS Million Dollar Life Match has awarded The St. Paul Outreach Center a second, $4,500 matching grant. This will allow us to further support the prenatal care and mentoring of three Options for Women East moms. We need your help to meet this match! Representatives from the SPOC visited partner sites to share the details over the past few months.

We have already raised $1,500 from donations, so we are seeking $3,000 more from our SPOC partners (churches, schools, and individuals). Checks can be made out to "St. Paul Outreach Center" and mailed to Jehovah Lutheran Church at 1566 Thomas Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55102. We will also again be needing mentors to connect with the three women.

For more information, email David Mennicke: spoc@jehovahlutheran.org.
