September Prayer Letter

Fall Getaway

“Davy, I just got baptized!!” The group of students from MO Southern ran up to me, excitement plastered on each of their faces. They had just went to the river and Skyler, a freshman, had decided to be baptized.  

Last weekend 270 students from schools around the region (180 from our campuses) gathered at a campground to connect with Jesus. Many, like Skyler, re-surrendered their lives to Jesus in radical ways. Trey wants to be a light in his fraternity, Sami Jo wants to pour her life into younger students, Aaron and Spencer want to start a manhood study. …. God is moving friends. 

SPIRITUAL LEGACY

The speaker at Fall Getaway brought Davy on stage to show how  he had discipled Justin, who discipled Davy,  who disciples Spencer, who disciples Holden.  A spiritual multiplication chain that continues on!

Missouri Southern Update

We were so ecstatic that 11 students came to the retreat from MO Southern. We have been meeting weekly with 12 students who want to go deeper and multiply their lives during college. Davy has started leading a Manhood Bible study with several of the guys and we plan on launching seven new small groups in the spring. Pray for all God is doing in Joplin! 

Summer Missions

We just had to share this with you! Our regional leadership gathered all the numbers from Cru mission trips over the summer and put them in this graphic. We are not interested solely in numbers, but we rejoice because those numbers represent very real individuals that Jesus cares deeply about. 

Praise God for all the seeds that were planted and the many that surrendered their life to Christ. 

Please continue to pray for our partnerships in these overseas locations and the spiritual darkness that still reigns in many of these places.

AIDEN JAMES

Aiden is 2 months old. Time is flying! He is a healthy and happy baby. He has started smiling at us and rolling over from tummy to back (Yes, already. Yikes!)

WHAT'S NEXT?

Our social media evangelistic outreach will begin October 25th. Please pray for us this month as we prepare students to share their stories and create buzz on campus. We want many students to encounter Jesus. 

Prayer Requests

• Pray for the students that attended Fall Getaway. Pray that they would continue to pursue the Lord and that the friendships they developed there would deepen and point them to Jesus. 
• We will be doing a large evangelistic outreach at the end of this month. Over social media students will be sharing their story of coming to Christ. Please pray that these videos spark Gospel conversations with their friends and that many students come to Christ through this outreach.
