… “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief” is the most natural and most human and most agonizing prayer in the gospels, and I think it is the foundation prayer of faith. -Flanner O’Connor Source: Letter to Alfred Corn, 1962
She was famous in her time as an evangelist, temperance reformer and a model for women’s rights. Born a slave on a farm in Maryland in 1837, this hardworking washerwoman began to tell her story and share the gospel and her gifts opened incredible doors for ministry. Amanda Berry Smith 1837–1915
USF WILL BE SERVING AT THE BANQUET ON MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 1ST AND SATURDAY NOON, MARCH 20. WE NEED AROUND 25 PEOPLE FOR EACH DAY. SIGN UP AT THE STUDENT DEVELOPMENT OFFICE FRONT DESK.

THOT FOR THE DAY:
History, despite its wrenching pain,
cannot be unlived,
but if faced with courage,
need not be lived again.
Maya Angelou from her inaugural poem, "On the Pulse of Morning" (January 20, 1993)

| Students lead the planning and fund raising for USF mission experiences. The only prerequisites are a desire to make a difference for Christ and a willingness to work with a team. USF students, faculty, and staff have served all over the United States and in many parts of the world. |
