January 10-13 Cru hosted our annual Summer Mission Team Leaders Training (SMTLT) Conference in Denver, CO.  Nearly 400 Cru Staff, Interns, and 31 students, came from around the country to gain perspective, skills, and tools for effectively leading a Summer Mission Trip with Cru.  New leaders rubbed shoulders with experienced leaders, and had time to begin planning their trips.  They will lead 200 different mission trips around the globe this summer; from San Diego to Hampton Beach, and Manila to Moscow.

Scott gave oversight to the conference in general, and served wherever needed.   We love what God does through these mission trips each summer,  and the thousands of student lives that are impacted for Christ as a result.  Please check out our website at www.theslamers.com for a video where Summer Mission Team Leaders share a short piece about their mission trips.

Praise & Prayer Requests!
