Hat Yai, Thailand is the location of one of our newest summer mission trips. This summer will only be the second time we have sent a summer mission to that location in Thailand. It is a religiously diverse area in the south of Thailand, but less than 1% of the population are Christian. 12 students from campuses in Texas, Washington, and Montana, will leave on June 18th for a 6-week summer mission. They will be led by two young Cru staff couples. Thanks for praying for God to fill our summer missions! The couple from Texas that is leading is an answer to that prayer, as they stepped in to lead the trip last minute!
Students will have a unique opportunity to learn the culture through immersion, gain a greater perspective on God’s work in the world, share their faith with Thai college students, and be equipped to share their faith back on their own campus. We love helping to fulfill Jesus’ Great Commission by sending “mission trips to every culture and ethnic group, joining in what God is already doing, to share the gospel, grow multiplying disciples, and launch/build movements.”
Family News from Becky
On Sunday, April 21st, my mom, Janet Stroman, passed away peacefully, with my stepdad by her side. Her 4 1/2 year battle with Parkinson’s and Dementia is over. We all have been grieving a slow grief as we really lost her in stages over the last few years, but now we grieve her presence. We do grieve with hope, as we rejoice that her body and brain are restored and she is with her Heavenly Father! We are so thankful for my stepdad and his family, my brother and his family, and how we all rallied as a team to care for my mom. Please keep our whole family in your prayers as we adjust to life without mom/ grandma and as we remember and celebrate her life! She loved her family, the outdoors, traveling, reading, and being a voice for those in need.
“Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” – John 11:25-26
