Seton Hall student, Damaris, who I disciple,
with me just before sharing our faith at campus blitz

Much
of my life consists of conversations with college students. I even live with
one!
Most
of these conversations are simple “get to know you” types but there are also
the very specific interactions I plan with students for the sake of their
spiritual and professional development.
As
the female team leader in New Jersey, I also have many conversations with
national Cru leaders whose concern is to reach these students for Christ, build
them in their faith and send them to reach the lost.
Cru has set a goal to send 1 million “multipliers” (people who know & share their faith in Jesus) into the world by 2020.
During
Spring break many students stay home to catch up with their shows on Netflix,
visit family out of town, or simply sleep all day. This year, our staff planned
another option for the students to consider spending 2/7 days they have off.
Jersey schools are split over
which week to have spring break, so for each week, our staff planned to reach
those campuses not on break. This past Monday & Tuesday, we trained
students who participated in different methods and tools for evangelism.
We
prayed and shared the Gospel with 13 different people, initiated spiritual
conversation with 65 more people and led one person to Christ.
New Jersey is very diverse. At
Rutgers Camden, day two, we wrote the words “Only Jesus Saves” in chalk on the
ground in front of the student center in over 15 different languages. The
spelling was acquired through random students on campus who spoke those
languages. Many stopped to watch and take pictures with their primary language.
God is reaching students of
every nation in very unique ways!
