I would be lying if I described this semester as “happy and smooth”. It was a very frustrating Monday morning. Three nights prior, Friday night, at our state-wide Jersey Cru meeting, we had 40 students sign up and pay for a bus ride to take us to “Big Break” in Panama City Beach, FL. “Big Break” is Crusade’s nationally run Spring Break conference that we had been attending for the past 10 years. Little did we know, that by the time our students woke up on Saturday morning the conference registration would be closed due to the housing being booked. What were we going to do with 40 students and a bus? Our staff team was very disappointed but sensed that perhaps God was leading us elsewhere. After all, we already had a bus with eager students ready to share their faith. All we had to do was find another beach where college students like to hang out for Spring Break. And God showed up! We found good housing for a reasonable price in Daytona Beach, FL. And with 35 students in tow, we ultimately spent the week there sharing the Gospel with over 230 people. Imagine if we had canceled the trip after things got tough?!

Jesus LIFTED UP!

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.” -John 3:14,15

Aside from a nice tan, one of the cool results of going to share our faith on the beach for a week is the opportunity to see our students grow and be transformed! The first Friday after we returned was our 2nd Jersey Cru of the semester. At this monthly statewide meeting, a Junior from Rutgers gave his story about how God used Him to led 4 people to Christ when he was feeling so discouraged!

“Guys, I think we are missing the point of this scavenger hunt” Mike said, “We’re supposed to be starting conversations and taking pictures with people ultimately for the sake of sharing the Gospel, not to win a game.” 

Mike felt convicted and decided to stop and pray with his group right before God led them to speak to 4 young people on the boardwalk! After they prayed, Mike was jumping with joy for being used by God.

Now back in New Jersey, students are actively participating in Quest Week— Staff and students around the state make it a point to share their faith each day of the week using tools like “Soularium” and “Quest Survey” along with the “4 Spiritual Laws”. Here’s a picture of a few Kean leaders and I using Soularium (picture survey) at the University Center of Kean.





Please Pray For:

• me as I prepare to finish the semester well
• the 43 people who prayed to receive Christ to con-tinue to grow in Him
• the five staff still raising support to be at full-support soon
• our students who are raising the financial needs to attend a Summer Project!
