Global Outreach Spotlight

Meet:
Scott & Jenny Hawkins
Since 1985,
Scott and Jenny Hawkins
have been investing in international students at Duke through
International Students Incorporated
, with the goal of evangelism through friendship. Scott welcomes you to join him in developing relationships with international students through “study breaks” (e.g. climbing to the top of the Duke Chapel bell tower, hiking at the Eno River, etc.), themed Saturday Suppers, inquirers’ Bible studies, and leadership retreats.
Pray:
Praise for continued contact and growth of relationships with students over the internet while they are not on campus. Praise for some Bible studies that continue on-line during this time. Please pray for the students while at home and that relationships would continue to grow.
