Every Cru missionary gets “basic training” for the first two years they work with us.  In NorCal, our director of training holds a “Bay Area Training Day” for all the new missionaries in the Bay Area.  On April 11th,  I (Scott) flew up for the day to attend the training and get to know our Bay Area staff and interns better.

We met in the student union of San Francisco State University and worked on their training as a group.  We learned about the campus from the Cru missionaries on the ground, then we prayer-walked and ate together.  I had some good time getting to know the interns, team leader, and staff up in the Bay Area better.  So much is gained in those precious few hours of personal contact, that helps me to better care for our missionaries throughout the year.
