“God is already at work where you are going.”

These words encouraged 405 young men and women sitting in a hotel ballroom near Chicago last week. In just a few weeks (days for some!) they would go to 88 locations, in 40 countries around the world to bring the gospel of Jesus to college students!  This was Cru’s Global Stint Briefing.

In the Middle East alone this past year, God has done unprecedented things.  One Cru staff member in the area reported that in his first 7 years of ministry, he only saw one person place their faith in Jesus.  But just this last year, in the span of only 3 months, he saw a third generation believer!  That’s one person placing their faith in Jesus, who shared with a friend who placed her faith inJesus, who in turn shared their faith with another friend who placed his faith in Jesus.  And all this in just 3 months!  God is on the move!

Scott had the joy and privilege of coaching a team of 6 from our region, heading to the Middle East this year.  They will spend their year focusing on 4 goals:  “Love the Lord, Love Their Team, Learn a New World, and Launch a Movement”.

Please pray with us for these new missionaries as they arrive in country this month (see sidebar).

Praise & Prayer Requests!

• Praise God for a safe and successful Stint Briefing trip for Scott and all 405 new Stinters!
• Pray for the safety of these new Stint teams as they travel to their locations around the globe this month.
• Pray for these Stinters to raise the remainder of their financial support before they leave for the year.
• Pray for boldness and clarity as these teams share the gospel with college students all over the world!  And for God to save many!
• Pray for our family as we begin a new homeschooling year.

“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.”

Psalm 67:1-2

Thank you for partnering with us to send a new generation of campus missionaries!
