Just 4 months ago, over 400 soon-to-be college grads, gathered at our Crossroads Conference to consider in what ways God would use them in a career.  This month 55 of them completed applications to Intern with Cru on a college campus!  Some are applying to work on a campus here in our region, and others overseas in one of our 10 partnership cities.

And please pray with us the month:

• As Scott helps to lead in evaluating these applications
• For wisdom, grace, and truth in our evaluation process
• For wisdom as the last few students decide about Interning next year

March is an extremely significant month in Cru ministry!  Not only are many college students applying for a year of missionary service, but Spring Break missions trips are happening all over the globe.  Students are taking their week off to engage people with the gospel from Puerto Rico to Tokyo to India.  Pray for these students:

• To grow in their ability to share their faith in Jesus
• For many to come to faith through their outreach
• For safety in travel
• For students to gain God’s heart for the world and ministry

Big Break LA starts this week and goes through the following two weeks.  It’s our regionally sponsored venue for Spring Break outreach.  Campuses from all over the country are coming to Long Beach to share their faith and get trained how to do it well.  50 students are registered to come next week alone!  To learn more or register, go to http://big-break-la.com/

Pray for Big Break LA:

• For more campuses to come and sign up
• For safety and protecting during travel
• For many to hear and receive Christ through the outreaches
• For unity among the students and staff
• For the trainers and teachers to be effective
• Against the enemy and spiritual battle

Preparation for the Santa Monica Summer Mission is coming along great!  We praise God for a new, fantastic church partnership, and 42 students already accepted to the summer mission!  It’s exciting to get to know these students as we review their applications and accept them.  We can’t wait to see what God does this summer!
