Kickoff Weekend

April 21-23rd, our team hosted the orientation and training conference for Cru’s 88 newest missionaries! We call it Kickoff Weekend. 48 hours of orientation to Cru, job expectations, and training to raise personal support. What always blows us away, is to see that room full of soon-to-be college grads, who’ve responded to God’s call to full-time campus ministry for the next year! It’s supernatural.

LA Vision Trip

Cru’s leadership just hosted a two-day LA Vision Trip. It was to grow our understanding of the college student culture in Los Angeles, and some of the city culture in general. Hundreds of thousands of college students live, work, and study in Los Angeles county. We visited Cal State LA and Cal State Long Beach. At Cal State LA we asked students two questions: “What do you think are some of the needs of students on campus?” and “How can we pray for you?”

When I asked Christian, a Junior, Latino student, how I could pray for him, he responded,
“Wow! Nobody’s ever asked me that before!”

Whoa! What a privilege to be able to pray for those young men and women. There’s such a need for Christ on those campuses! And there’s only one staff man on campus with Cru at Cal State LA this year.
