4000+ Cru Missionaries Trusting God for Every Person

4000+ Cru Missionaries Trusting God for Every Person

     Cru25 Staff Conference was an incredible time to gather as missionaries, seek God, be in the Word, and gain vision for where we are going as an organization. Our vision is that “Everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus.” One way we are doing this is by trusting God to plant a church for every 1,000 people worldwide. There are still 5.5 billion people who don’t know Jesus. The Jesus Film is creating an animation of Jesus' life, as many people in this generation are drawn to anime. They have already translated the Jesus Film into over 2,000 languages to reach the most unreached people groups. We are trusting God for ministries on every college campus, through churches partnering with us, so that there is a Christian presence of evangelism and discipleship on each campus. God is on the move, and we are joining Him in what He is already doing! Holly is specifically helping with “contextualized discipleship,” and Matt helps with contextualizing websites for different ministries with Cru. Thank you for praying for us and partnering with us as we continue to follow His lead in our callings with Cru. 

     Last month, we shared with you that the total ministry expenses for this summer's conference were $8,800. We’ve raised $3,458, and we are so grateful to those of you who have given. If you are still able to give and haven’t yet, we still need $5,342 to cover our summer expenses. Since Holly will also attend seminary in August, we must raise these funds; otherwise, we will receive short paychecks in August. Would you prayerfully consider a special gift? Or perhaps you feel led to join our ministry team on a monthly basis with a gift of $50, $75, or $100. You can provide a tax-deductible donation online at our personal Cru Give page: give.cru.org/0666187. We would greatly appreciate your prayers towards this as we begin a new school year, reaching this next generation with the gospel. 


Personal Update

     Holly, Carter, and Briella all start the school year on August 4th. Please pray that the kids will make new friends, as their close friends have moved to a different school. Thank you for your prayers and love for our family! We love serving the Lord alongside you!
