The summer of 1998 was a huge turning point in my (Scott’s) life.  I went on a summer mission with Cru just two days after I graduated from college.  It was the first time I was a part of leading someone to Christ, and the summer I sensed God’s call into full-time ministry! 

At that time, I would not have believed you if you told me one day I would be training the “giants of the faith” leading me that summer!  But last month I was honored to be asked to lead the training of all Cru stateside summer missions leaders nationally!  I humbly accepted the offer, am excited (a little intimidated), and hard at work planning the program for the conference in Dallas, in January.

The US Summer Missions Team Leader Training comprises about 150 leaders each year.  Last year they led over 1,600 students on 59 different summer missions, from Hampton Beach to Miami, and San Diego to Anchorage.  Over 52,000 people heard the gospel through stateside summer missions last summer, and 1,300 received Jesus Christ!  1,600 college students were equipped to be spiritual leaders on their campuses, trained in evangelism, the Spirit-filled life, leading Bible studies, and much more.

Praise & Prayer Requests!

• Praise God for the lives he changed during Fall Retreats. At Cal Poly SLO, over 20 students received Christ at their Fall Retreat!
• Pray for Scott as he leads the design of the US Summer Missions Leader Training.
• Pray for well-trained Summer Mission Leaders.
• Pray for Scott to find the last few summer mission leaders here in the West, and coordinate summer assignments for the 230 staff.
• Pray for our family to have a restful and worshipful Thanksgiving and Christmas season.

“…what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”
2 Timothy 2:2

Thank you for partnering with us to train leaders to reach every college student!
