 While many Spring Breakers head south during one week in March to have fun in the sun, hundreds of ACU students travel the globe helping others.

With Mexico being only a few hours away for the past 6 years students have either gone over the border or to border towns to help residents and churches with whatever they can, but with the escalating violence in inner Mexico ACU officials and parents were concerned with sending students there for a week.

This past week they decided to alter the students trip and send them to Atlanta Georgia to help out a local church there. While many of the students are disappointed they believe God is bigger than their plans and are willing to allow him to work in their lives however He sees fit.
