Big things have been brewing here at the Center for Student
Missions! There have been murmurings and whispers of a new member making its
way into the CSM family. After much thought, prayer and the combined efforts of
many, we are excited to announce that we are moving forward with a year-round,
full-time site in the city of Detroit, Michigan! We are so excited to welcome
Detroit to the family. It took some time, but through God’s grace and
blessings, we can now get to work in “Motor City!”
“CSM never goes where we are not invited by indigenous
leaders,” says Dan Reeve, President of CSM. “Honestly, so many ministries asked
us to come serve with them that it felt like the Apostle’s call in Acts 16:9:
‘come over to Macedonia and help us!”
Emily Hoffman, a native to the city, will be CSM Detroit’s
founding City Director. Hoffman helped to facilitate three separate CSM service
trips this past summer and will now continue to do so long-term.
“CSM has proved to be great fit for Detroit,” says Hoffman.
“Connections with ministry partners have been God-orchestrated and mutually
beneficial to both our groups and their organizations. I’m excited about
establishing relationships with even more ministries in the city and seeing
future CSM groups make an even greater kingdom impact!”
CSM will begin accepting registrations immediately for
Detroit trips booked as soon as October 2014 and beyond! Groups as small as
seven total people can serve as short as 24 hours.
“Detroit and its many ministries really do need you to serve
alongside them in bringing Shalom to this needy city,” says Reeve.
Come serve with us in Motown, and let’s see what God’s
doing!
