Noah and Andrew met on the cross country team at their high school.  Noah was two years ahead of Andrew, but they were teammates and friends.  When Noah graduated and began college at Michigan State University, they stayed in touch.  At MSU, Noah met Jesus and his life began to change!  Back home, Andrew suffered a running injury.  Tying his performance to his significance, Andrew struggled.  Hearing how his life had changed,  Andrew reached out to Noah, who shared the gospel with him.  While initially,  Andrew was interested, his injury soon healed up and spiritual things were ignored again in his life.  

Two years passed and Andrew was also accepted to Michigan State University.   When he arrived on campus, Noah immediately invited him to a Cru Bible study.  Honestly,  Andrew was only interested in making friendships, as campus was closed to freshmen because of Covid-19.  But, God was at work, and later last Fall Andrew placed his faith in Jesus!  This summer Andrew and Noah are both participating in the Chicago Summer Mission!  Now they are developing “practical ministry skills and the tools necessary to be a strategic leader both in Chicago and back on their campus.” 

Don’t you love being a part of what God is doing to prepare this generation for his glory?!  Thanks again for your investment with us in Noah and Andrew, and over 1,000 other college students on mission trips this summer!  We look forward to telling more stories of God’s work in the coming months, as most summer mission trips will wrap up within the next month.

Praise & Prayer Requests!

• Praise God for the work He has done and is doing in students like Noah and Andrew this summer!

• Pray for students to grow in their faith, share the gospel a ton, and for many to come to faith in Christ this summer. 

• Pray for the safety and success of each student and trip that is going out this month. 

Family Requests:

Please pray for us to get a little rest this summer and for a successful college move-in/send-off for Sarah the last week of August.

“At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ…that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak”

Colossians 4:3-4
