In late September 2024, over 30 inches of rain fell on Western North Carolina in just a few days, causing floods, destroying buildings, and displacing many from their homes. Cru staff in the area quickly shifted their ministry focus and have been able to lead their community in restoration efforts and living the gospel out to their community. Students from surrounding areas have come to help rebuild and had opportunities to be the hands of Jesus and to proclaim the gospel. There has been a lot of work already done in Western North Carolina but years’ worth of work remain. Hundreds of students from around the country will be spending their spring break with Cru in Asheville, NC as we seek to follow Christ and help those in need in very tangible ways. Pray for these communities that are having to rebuild their entire lives, much like in Southern California with the fires. Pray for the students as they take steps of faith and encounter the Lord. Pray that this opportunity will open their eyes to opportunities the Lord has for them back on their campuses to be His hands and feet!
Team Time in Tulsa
Thank you for your prayers for our time in Tulsa with our Mission Trip Team! We had a great week together of learning, team building, planning, praying, and enjoying being together! As Cru’s Campus Ministry, we are trusting the Lord for the whole campus to the whole world to fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit. Our part as the Mission Trip Team is to join what God is already doing in students lives by guiding & supporting mission trips to every people group. This includes our short term trips like the spring break trips mentioned above, as well as our summer missions that you often hear us share about! We are so thankful to be a part of this team!
Thank you for your investment in seeing the Lord transform students lives and send them to the world!
Praises and Prayer Requests!
- Praise the Lord for the 1,020 students who have applied so far to invest their summer in a Cru summer mission!
- Pray for the Lord to fill all our teams and give our team leaders wisdom and guidance.
- Pray for fruitful ministry on spring break trips all over the world right now. And that students would grow in Jesus and connection with others.
