We have been married for over two months now and the time has gone so fast. We are enjoying the married life and look forward to the years to come! Thanks for your prayers. We spent the majority of our first two months together in Orlando, Florida with 180 young men and women being trained as new missionaries with Cru.
The history of the organization,
seminary courses, and vision for the
future comprised our six weeks of
training and we are now headed into
a season of full-time prayer and
financial partner development.
Thank you for your support over the
years. We look forward to now
connecting with you as husband and
wife rather than just individuals!

AN UNLIKELY CONVERT
”I guess I had to travel around the
world to find Jesus.”
This summer three MSU athletes who lead Bible studies in Cru traveled to Uganda for a two week mission trip serving orphans and widows and sharing the good news of the Gospel.
Karly, an MSU basketball player, took her dad with her on the trip. Karly and Melissa have spent the last year praying for her dad during their weekly discipleship meetings. Karly was so excited that God was working on her dad’s heart by sending him to Uganda.
One Sunday, the group attended a local church service. At the end of the sermon the pastor invited people to enter into a personal relationship with Christ. Karly’s dad realized he had never made that commitment himself. He came forward that day and surrendered his life to Christ. He traveled halfway across the world to discover his need for Jesus.
We are so thankful for students like Karly, who have understood the vision of reaching the world: both near and far. This is our hope for all our students involved with Cru in Southwest MO.
