January Prayer Letter

Recruiting

It was quite a stark transition to go from sweating in Africa to the cold winds of Denver, CO. Davy spent five days there to recruit students to come on Summer Mission/STINT.

This year’s Winter Conference saw 700 students pack into cars to come for a week of teaching and training. He was able to speak from the stage many times and got to meet one-on-one with several soon-to-be graduates. We are praying for 12 STINT’ers to join us next year. One girl is already accepted and her best friend committed to come as well! Another young man has his application turned in, so we are hoping for a full team as we seek to reach every campus in this country.

Equipping the Next Generation

Packed around tables, 33 of the young men and women who have committed to being leaders with Cru brainstormed what it means to build a movement and how to coach the next generation of students after them. We taught them the fundamentals of campus ministry and gave them tracks to run on. The young man in the middle of the picture is Hermann from IST-SJ. Davy had the privilege of engaging with Hermann and four other students at his school who have excitedly agreed to take on the mission of bringing Christ to their campus.The task is large. Just last week Davy went to two new schools where two other future leaders have taken on this challenge. We need more laborers to help coach all these students. Please stop right now and pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest field. 


Prayer Requests               
  • We will split up to four different cities the second week of February.  There has been some political unrest in the country, so pray for both peace and fruit as we launch movements in new places.
  • Pray for some of the leaders Davy is coaching: Narcisse (CIFEC), Hermann (ISTSJ), Cedric (ISGEMA), Jean-Baptiste (ASTC), & Wilfried (ESCOGET)
HOW CAN WE PRAY FOR YOU? FILL OUT THE FORM TO THE RIGHT AND LET US KNOW!


The little guy is growing up! Climbing onto chairs, jumping to us off couches, and starting to waddle run, he’s kept us busy with his active life. He says “bye!” very clearly and when we say “night, night” he wants to give everyone a kiss. 

If you were a part of our team last year, you remember that Davy traveled to MO Southern every week to launch the movement there. This year, with little to no input from Cru staff, they have continued to reach their campus and five students came to the Denver Winter Conference! I got a chance to catch a pic with three of them.
