PUERTO RICO

Cru exists in more countries than Coca Cola… AND NOW, we are in San Juan, Puerto Rico at the campus of Rio Piedras!

University Campus Center

This week, I took a short 4 day trip with 10 other staff from the military ministry, faculty ministry, and campus ministry of Cru to San Juan.

La Escalerita - A Christian group we hope to partner with

A campus outreach we attended with all the Christian groups

We explored the campus and the community to see if we can start a Cru movement on the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras! We met students with a Catholic background and some who were protestant. We met a group of Christians who gathered together to sing everyday from 12 - 1 called “Confra” (conference) as well as another Christian club who gathered for Bible  studies and prayer called “Escalerita” (little stairway). We are hoping to partner with Gabriella and Carlos, who lead Escalerita and train them in multiple methods of evangelism and leadership skills. 

God did amazing things in my heart for the people of my heritage as I engaged with students and locals in lots of conversations in Spanglish (English & Spanish). Prayerfully, with the financial support and training needed, I’ll be able to lead a Summer Mission trip to Puerto Rico in 2017. Please pray for our team as we continue to partner with Dr. Bob, a Puerto Rican Christian leader who is helping start Cru movements across the island.
