CSU Summer Conference

“You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up & strengthen what remains!” Revelation 3:1-2.

Our Staff Conference was kicked off by Francis Chan who challenged us to “secure an undistracted devotion to the Lord.” He felt the Lord lead him to Rev 3:1-2 as he prayed over what to share with all of us. He said, “You cannot experience fruitfulness when there is sin in the camp.” We were given time & space to reflect, ask God to search our hearts, & confess our sins both personally & corporately. What an honor it is to serve with an organization that takes seriously the call to examine themselves, repent, and rise up strengthened by God’s power within them! As the conference went on our national leadership team announced that around Feb 2012 Campus Crusade for Christ will be changing its name to “Cru.”

The name may be changing, but the mission remains the same: to be passionate in sharing the heart of Jesus with everyone who has not yet had the chance to hear about Him! During our time in Ft.Collins we also had the chance to meet with our ministry branches. It was so encouraging to gather with those who are serving with Athletes in Action! We have renewed excitement & passion to serve God alongside these families! These few days were only a taste of what is to come, and it was delicious! We are more confident than ever that God has led us to this exact place and so we continue to trust Him to get us there in His perfect timing! The time for moving is now on the horizon, we can see it getting closer!

Thank you for praying, sacrificing, believing, hoping, & dreaming with us! We are getting some responses from our last letter! Thank you for asking the Lord to bring to mind people in your life to share in this ministry with us!
