Community of Servant LeadersSTUDENTSMORE THOUGHTSON WEEK OF E3With over 40 teams of studentsranging in size from three to thirtythreestudents each, the impact ofWeek of E3 is widespread. Beingimmersed in Christian service for oneintense week is a powerful formativeexperience for Lincoln Christian Collegestudents. While these projects are shortterm,often the fruits of their labor tastesweet long after their departure. FellowChristians from Week of E3 service sitesare grateful for the encouragement andenergy that LCC students bring. Manyorganizations are able to enjoy the finishedproduct of projects they didn’t have thetime or manpower to finish on their own.The opportunity to be stretched beyondtheir limits while so far away from homehas been a life-changing experience formany students. In 2008, students willreturn to many of these destinations andbuild on the work begun by students in yearsgone by. Some teams will travel to newlocations and begin a new work. In all cases,teams will give their all, and the world willwait to see what God brings to fruitionthrough Week of E3.To check out the Week of E3 projects alreadyunderway for 2008, go to http://www.lccs.edu/College/WeekofE32007/WOE3TripDescriptions/tabid/825/Default.aspxHighlights:◆ Record enrollment last year with 1,290 students◆ Record Seminary enrollment this fall with 348 students◆ Placement of more than 97% of last year’s graduates◆ More than one in ten graduates serving cross culturally◆ Record number of mission majors this fall with nearly 100◆ Highest percentage of students on Dean’s List with 31%◆ Student satisfaction levels above all national normsCOLLEGE STUDENTS EXPERIENCELIFE-CHANGING MINISTRYKathy Johnson, Director of Internshipsat Lincoln Christian College, is the leaderof the life-changing Week of E3 trip toSan Juan, Puerto Rico.
