About

Mercy Hill City Project

Christy Chang with MH - , NC

Hello,

My name is Christy Chang. I am a senior, International Business Major at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In the spring of 2017, I had the opportunity to study abroad for 4 1/2 months. While being away from home, family, friends, and church community, I was able to see how broken our world is. Coming back home, it was not the same as when I left.

“My prayer is that God take us on a journey in the pages ahead that will open our eyes to the needs of people in our culture and around the world, bring us to our knees in tears and prayers on their behalf, and cause us to rise with conviction, compassion, and courage to humbly spread the truth of God while selflessly showing the love of God, all in hopeful anticipation of the day when sin, suffering, immorality, and injustice will finally be no more.” -David Platt, Counter Culture

A year ago while I was in Seoul, I met a wonderful sister who gave me this book to read and I felt convictions and it was eye-opening for me to see the world that I ignored. His creation is beautiful but it is broken. I forgot that it is, and that how great would it be if I can go share the love that I have been blessed with. A love that is unfailing and never gives up on me. No matter how messed up or how many mistakes I have made, He still loves me. It doesn’t matter how others define me- because in His eyes He’s already saying “my child”. I realize my heart should be breaking because not many know this love I discovered. And it’s free. My heart cries for the places that need to hear the great news, the gospel. Thanks to Mercy Hill, a church that I have been attending for four years while in college, I am ecstatic to say that this summer I will have the opportunity to be a part of City Project!

City Project is an eight-week discipleship opportunity for college students. I will have the chance to be immersed in the local church and cities around the globe. With City Project, I will be able to go to New York for one week and share the gospel with Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists. In Greensboro, I will be receiving practical, theological and ministry training by pastors at Mercy Hill for several weeks. During this time, I will learn how to effectively share the Gospel through internships with local ministries and members of the Mercy Hill staff. For my last two weeks of the summer, I will be traveling abroad to serve in an international context alongside Summit Church Planters. Through City Project, I will have the opportunity to explore the mission of God, develop a heart and mind for God, and a better understanding of what it means to leverage one's entire life for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Through City Project, I am having the opportunity to go to South Asia this summer! It is one of the areas that I truly want to witness with my own eyes. I want to let it sink in my heart and see the beauty and brokenness of this place. I want His heart and to understand more of why He says “Go and make disciples” (whether in the future it is to be here or abroad).

With that said, I am excited about this opportunity and how my summer will unfold, but I cannot do this alone. I would truly appreciate it if you can support and join this awesome journey with me! This is not me alone and I find it so awesome that I am asked to ask people to join this journey with me. It’s not about you or myself but together we are used for His glory to spread the love in a place that needs it. For all of this to actually happen, I need your support to help me raise $5,000 by April 21st, 2018. It would be great to have you be a part of this exciting journey that God is calling me to.

In fact, I believe the He is calling all of us, would you be willing to give a one-time donation of $25, $100, or however you feel like God is calling you to give? I hope that with whatever you may give or through prayers, God will use it to prosper the gospel. I am someone He may send to share the word, but it is your help that will allow it to happen. I hope that with your generosity, you are able to see that we are in this together as a body of Christ. Thank you again for your generosity, support, prayers and may God bless you!
