God showed up in powerful ways through our Summer Missions!
- 216 students attended of summer missions in the Pacific Southwest (PSW)!
- Our South Asia team saw 34 people receive Christ!
- Our SoCal Operations mission connected 8,000 incoming Freshmen to local movements, through digital strategies!
- The Ocean City, NJ Summer Mission saw 333 people receive Christ!
- And in Santa Monica, the summer mission students made a big impact on the city. Officer Milo of the local police department, made frequent visits to the summer mission, and even taught the students a self-defense class. At the end of the summer he said, “You change our city by being here.”

All Cru ministries have now launched with the start of semester and quarter campuses in the PSW. One of our favorite stories so far comes from UC San Diego. Last week they filled 6 double decker buses with over 480 new students for their first Cru bonfire at the beach!
Scott and our LD team joined UC Irvine last week to launch their Fall outreach and connect with as many new students as possible. They handed out 2500 Cru water bottles, and collected over 1500 surveys!

Prayer and Praises
- Praise God for the hundreds of students who went on summer mission & the hundreds of people who came to know Jesus through their outreach this summer!
- Pray for those students’ outreach to continue with freshmen, roommates, & classmates as they’ve returned to campus this Fall.
- Pray for college freshmen to meet & connect with students and missionaries who would introduce them to Jesus!
- Pray for many college freshmen to attend Cru Fall Retreats happening in the next few weeks. That there, they would build relationships with Jesus, and other Christian students on their campus.
- Pray for the Christian freshmen arriving on campus, to find community right away with a Christian group like Cru, and/or a solid local church.
We are so thankful for your heart to invest in seeing college students’ lives changed for eternity! It is because of you that we can continue to be a part of what God is doing together!
