God is answering your prayers!
He keeps changing students’ lives despite the pandemic.
Hungry to connect, hundreds of new students came by Cru’s outdoor, masked, and physically distant events during fall welcome. Cru staff and students have shared the gospel individually with 100 of those students so far.
One freshman Matthew told us that the spring quarantine canceled his baseball season and got him thinking about heaven and hell. A Cru Junior Jacob had a gospel appointment with Matthew, and he gave his life to Christ! WMU senior Quinn also came to Christ after all university classes went online in the Spring. He said that Cru is the first group of Christians he has been a part of since following Jesus.
During a gospel appointment with Cru staff Kelli, a freshman girl opened up, sharing her story of identifying as bisexual and being kicked out of her house by her parents during high school. She said, “I was considering giving up completely on faith,” but now talking to Kelli she wants to give faith another chance. She’s not ready to accept Christ yet, but she wants to keep meeting with Kelli. She said she wants to overcome the doubts that prevent her from inviting Jesus to be on the throne of her life.
Cru intern Kait talked to a student who is a member of a major sorority at WMU. The girl said that the Greek party lifestyle has left her feeling so “empty.” She wants to get serious about growing in Christ. They met with another girl from her sorority to talk about starting up a weekly Bible discussion, possibly at their sorority house!
Doing ministry in this pandemic has been complicated and draining at times. But by God’s grace, we have had many opportunities to connect students to the everlasting hope that Christ offers. Thank you for partnering with us to point students to Jesus!
