HOUSING NEEDED FOR CCO MINISTRY INTERNS: The CCO (Coalition for Christian Outreach, www.ccojubilee.org) is looking to place three Interns in State College from July 2012 until May 2013. In order for the CCO to make these internships happen we are looking to provide housing to the interns at no cost. We are looking for families, couples, or individuals to provide housing for them from July through May. If you are interested in providing housing please contact Bill Saxton (international students) at 814-404-6763 or Will Gigante (athletes) at 814-574-9758.
