Summer time is an exciting time! We are just weeks away from our family growing from 2 to 3! We are so excited to welcome our baby girl into the world and bring her home with us. The doctor says everything is looking good, please pray for a healthy mom and baby.
Summer is also an exciting time in Cru-world. We have students and staff traveling to Summer Projects (summer long mission trips) in Santa Cruz, CA, Breckenridge, CO, and Branson, MO. We have graduating seniors moving on into the real world who we are praying will continue to bring the Gospel to their workplace. And our current students are back at home for the summer. We have a former student leading a Summer Project to Ethiopia, and another preparing her funds to go to Ethiopia for all of next year!
We are thrilled to look back at the big picture and see how God has chosen to use us and our ministry. But, with Cru there is even a bigger picture to look at. There are movements like ours all over the United States of staff enabling students to reach students who are impacting the world., and a great online ministry that is touching the world.
Our success is found in this: to share the Gospel boldly under the power of the Holy Spirit, and to leave the results up to God. We walk with Jesus and obey Him, and He works. We delight in that alone. We don’t find our success in the number of people who show up to a meeting or retreat, nor do we define ministry success by the amount of students sent, or the amount of new believers.
However, God has given us a few of these very things that we can count, measure, and celebrate. We were encouraged and wanted to share with you the big picture statistics of the Cru ministry that give us a glimpse of what God has done through Cru this past school year.
Thank you for helping us be part of the bigger picture of what God is doing in Cru, and for His Kingdom!
