Serve Now News: September 2025
September Recap
Serve Now Prayer & Worship Night
On September 8th, 47 Serve Now students gathered to start the semester off right with a time of prayer and worship. Five students shared about their past trip experience, one student taught everyone a fun camp song that he shared with team members each morning of his Serve Now trip, one leader shared his heart for the Serve Now program, and many prayers were prayed for Samaritan’s Purse, the Serve Now program as a whole, and all of those who have been impacted by natural disasters.
Serve Now Entry Training
On September 16th, sixty-two students who are new to the Serve Now program attended Entry Training. They were served a delicious dinner of Chipotle, listened to presenters, and interacted with the training through brainstorming sessions, games, and activities. They are now deployable on Serve Now trips!
Travel Safety Workshop
On September 18th, LU Serve hosted a Travel Safety Workshop. Students learned about the importance of situational awareness as well as tips and tricks to staying safe abroad through an interactive presentation.
