Spring is in the Air

Around our People and Culture team, Spring means applications!  Soon-to-be-graduates are responding to God’s call to invest their first, or second, year in vocational ministry, as Cru interns. 

“Working for Cru, sharing the Gospel and furthering God’s Kingdom through helping others grow in their faith has been immensely fulfilling and I want to continue being a resource for the students…” – second year intern applicant.

This year we’ve had 120 first and second year intern and Stint (international internship) applicants to evaluate!  Scott has been coaching two of our staff evaluators who have two applicants each, and he’s been evaluating an intern applicant himself.  Our goal is to be able to give a decision to an applicant within two weeks of beginning our evaluation, which is much like an intensive discipleship relationship.

Help!  My Child’s Going to College

About this time of year, friends often ask us about helping their new college student get connected to Cru on campus.  We LOVE to help do this!  So, please let us know if we can help you in that way.  If we don’t know someone personally we can point you in the right direction.

If you or your child/grandchild would like to explore what Cru is like on campus on their own, and even get in contact with a Cru staff member at their new campus, you point them to Cru’s Undergraduate page at:  https://www.cru.org/us/en/communities/campus/undergrad.html.

Praise & Prayer Requests!

• Pray for the 120 intern applicants who will be preparing for an internship with Cru this summer.
• Pray for high school seniors preparing to enter the spiritual battleground of college campuses this Fall.
• Praise God for the new national role Scott accepted this week!   (More on this next month)

Family Requests:

• Pray for Becky, Sarah, and Ethan to finish the school year strong these final two months.
