LETU Students to Serve Others During Spring Break

Wed, Feb 24 2010

        LeTourneau University students are gearing up to travel to Mexico and several cities in the United States to serve others during spring break. Senior aeronautical science major David Fort, who is vice president of missions for LeTourneau Student Ministries, is coordinating the mission trips. LeTourneau Student Ministries is a student-led organization of Christian ministry that sponsors spring break missions, as well as other community events throughout the year.
        “These trips put students out of their comfort zones and into a place where they have to rely on God,” Fort said. “Maybe it's through God providing the funding for them to go, or maybe it is through truly witnessing for the first time.”

        From March 13 to 21, LETU students, faculty and staff will serve others in the following locations.
