Nearly 1400 college students just finished engaging in Cru’s first ever all-digital Summer offerings! 73% had never been on a Cru Summer Mission before, and on a scale from 1 to 5, students rated these new Digital Summer Mission (DSM) experiences at a 4 for adding value to their lives and ministry! We were pleasantly surprised to hear that, and are learning a lot from their feedback. Just listen to some of their experiences below.
Stories and favorite memories from students on
Cru Digital Summer Missions 2020
“…This guy was seeking peace desperately, and interestingly enough, struggled with the same mental health things that I and/or my family members deal with. Because of this, I understood the way in which he was experiencing unrest and a lack of peace. God used the testimony of how He had delivered me from my anxiety, and the promise of peace that Jesus offers, to eventually bring this man to Christ during our Digital Summer Mission.” – DSM to North Africa
“Me and a Muslim man were making conversation about peace and I asked him if i could share where my eternal peace comes from and he responded “You are safe to share with me” It was just so simple and sweet to get that response.” – Middle East DSM
“I had some exploring conversations with some atheists and directed them towards God’s salvation. I also found out some of my past friends accepted Jesus as their Savior and I was able to mentor and encourage them also.” – US DSM
“Besides our one friend coming to know Christ (!!!),
Probably making a dish from the country we were “working in” together over Zoom.” – Middle East DSM
“I really liked being introduced to new people that attend schools in the same area that I do that I otherwise may have never met. I really enjoyed growing my community of believers and friends to challenge me in the faith.” -Summer of Theology DSM
