March is a pivotal month in the summer mission trip space. It is historically our biggest month for student applications, but with pending airline ticket purchases and housing deposits due, team leaders can start to get nervous when they are not seeing student applications rolling in. For most, that will change by April. But, without the Spirit of God, all our efforts will not do a thing. So, we pray, and ask you to pray for God to move in the lives of students to desire to invest part of their summer in taking a step of faith to expand His kingdom, and for many to do so on a Cru Summer Mission Trip!
We currently have 2,600 students in the application process, and we already have 900 accepted! (Last year at this time we had 700 accepted students). We continue to see the Lord rebuild our summer missions since the pandemic. Thank you for engaging with us in God’s grand mission among college students!
