To God be the Glory

Christa screaming "Jesus!"

Kean Cru News

           I’ve been tempted this semester to feel discouraged as though nothing is happening with the movement at Kean but the truth is God is working a lot! Yet at our last Jersey Cru of the semester, Christa Diaz, Kean Cru leader was able to give her testimony about bringing God glory.

           Earlier this semester my dear sister in Christ and disciple, Christa Diaz, ran for and won the Homecoming Queen title at Kean. This University is not known to show favor in any way to the Christian students and yet in a stadium full of football fans, they mentioned Jesus Christ’s name because of Christa’s involvement and leadership in the ministry at Kean! 

"Right after it was all over, I went to my room and had a Quiet time with the Lord. For me it was just a great picture of how we're going to cast our crowns at the feet of Jesus in heaven. It was a wonderful experience to give Him all the glory!"  - Christa Diaz at Jersey Cru

          Influenced by her passion for Jesus, a student journalist for the Kean ExChange (student media journal) asked if he could video interview several of the members of Cru to find out more about what it is that Homecoming Queen, Christa Diaz, is passionate about. “What is it about Cru that causes so many people to come out?” he asked. “Well, we all have one goal in common and that’s to glorify Jesus!” stated Liscet Duran, last year’s Homecoming runner up and current graduate leader with Kean Cru.

          The same week a follow up video of the Homecoming King & Queen was released, this video on “Kean Cru—a Campus Crusade for Christ Ministry” was posted online just alongside it. Christa’s comments on Jesus were edited out of the homecoming video, but God still got all the glory from the Cru video which mentions Jesus name repeatedly through students!
