October 2009 - Volume 2 * Issue 10

I am so encouraged to have the enemy attacking me as I write this letter to you. It only means God is preparing me to be used through this life ministry (sooner than later we pray). The Lord is still very gracious and compassionate to His children and He has shown me these characteristics of His through this support-raising time. How easily do we forget the good things He has done and the greater things He has called us to do? Earlier this month, by the undeserving grace of God, I had the opportunity to join my team to pray for our campuses across the state! I was so excited to finally feel like I was on the front-lines with my co-laborers in this mission to fulfill the Great Commission!

“You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” - 2Timothy 2:1, 2


Every semester, the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ takes one day to pray for their ministries, states and the world. This semester, the Jersey Metro Campus Ministry Team decided to do a prayer walk on a few of our campuses. As we visited and prayed with several students and staff at Kean University, Rutgers University in Newark, and NJIT we saw the Lord’s sovereignty and incredi-ble love. At Kean University, my alma mater, several staff were excited to see us and in need of prayer. Praise the Lord for His guidance to the right place at the right time. Please continue to pray for these staff as they are each a witness and a representa-tive of Christ to our future leaders on a daily bases. Pray that they can appropriately and effectively share Christ with residents and students on these campuses with-out repercussion.


Fall Retreat—Overflow 09’
Jenn Lee, a student of mine, reports from Montclair State University:
“Recently, I (2nd from Left, bottom row) attended Fall Retreat with Campus Crusade for Christ. I was able to experience something that was completely different from what I expected. Last year, I had a lot of problems with my roommate and I prayed for better roommates this year. One of my current roommates (I did not know her at all before we moved in) was having a lot of trouble a week before fall retreat. She was struggling with a lot of different problems. Now that I look back, God was breaking her for a greater purpose (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). I decided to take a step of faith and asked her to come to Tuesday Night Bible study. To my surprise, she was open minded about the idea and followed. After the study, I also invited her to Fall Retreat and once again she easily agreed (bottom row, far right). During Fall Retreat, I really felt that she needed to hear the gospel so I used the Knowing God Personally Booklet ( A booklet that Campus Crusade for Christ uses to easily share the gospel) to speak with her. I went through the four spiritual laws with her and at the end she had to decide whether or not she wanted to personally accept Christ into her life. Without any hesitation, she agreed to say the prayer with me. It was amazing! I shared the gospel with many people before but it was the first time that anyone was SO willing to pray the prayer with me. Before the retreat, I hardly spoke to my roommate. But now, our relationship is completely different from before because Christ is our bridge for our friendship. Praise God!”


Prayer Requests:
 That God will bring in all of my monthly support by the end of the year.
 The student leaders and staff will grow in loving the campuses of New Jersey well as many others show hate.
