Caring Community

Jersey Metro Cru: A caring community passionate about connecting people to Jesus Christ.
Last month, I told you about a conversation Maria Yousef & I had using the “perspective cards” with two Muslim women, Oraib and Saeeda, the president of the Kean Muslim Student Association. Since I met these women, we’ve had multiple conversations on campus practically every week and they’ve met nearly every female student leader in Cru! Visit my blog: tabbystab@blogspot.com to read more about our encounters. Another fun adventure with Maria (pictured left, next to me) was our trip to Mt. Vernon Alliance Church in Mt. Vernon, NY. Using the materials I mentioned in my last letter and a “prezi” I created, I trained six young seminary students from Nyack College in evangelism and then went out sharing our faith with High School students at the local park. We prayed with 3 young girls who weren’t sure of their salvation to be sure and encouraged them to talk to their youth pastors or visit the local church!

RADIATE.2011—Be Free

Every New Year, I have the wonderful opportunity to worship into the New Year with hundreds of students from the mid-atlantic region. This year 937 students from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey gathered in the Baltimore Inner Harbor to develop their relationships with Jesus through fellowship, training, worship and prayer.

 Pastor Jackson Crum, Claude Hickman and Roger Hershey all spoke on the topic “be free”. In and through their teaching, felt God challenge me to give a detailed testimony, known as a “soul to soul”, to the women involved at Kean Cru. Little did I know this time, which included my sister, developed a greater feeling of freedom within the women to be open and honest about where God has convicted them of sin. Since that night, I’ve been able to privately meet with several of these women and encourage them, as Paul did in Ephesians 5:8, to walk as children of light.

One of the great things about conferences like these is that I am able to reunite with the students I worked with this past summer at Hampton Beach, NH Summer Project. It was really encouraging to see the women from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia & North Carolina persevering and “running the race.”

Up & Coming SOON!....

to join the Jersey Metro staff)

Don't just take my word on it....

“The messages were rich and insightful, often surprising me with how little I knew; many challenged me inwardly. Understanding that God unconditionally loves me despite me penetrated a hard place in myheart, and all the guck and condemnation flowed freely from it. For the first time in a long time, I was able to let go of lingering guilt while weeping joyfully and even call the Lord my own.” – J. Sforza (NJCU alumni)

Our NJ student Emcees meet the RADIATE2010 Emcees!

Issue:Sometimes the price of this conference can be an issue for students. However......The room cost per night at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott is typically $376! Yet we offer the entire conference: 4 Nights, 7 Main Sessions, Seminars, Day of Faith, 2 Concerts (Reilly & Trip Lee), The Bridge Band leading Worship, and a New Year's Eve Party with Trip Lee ALL for less than that! Try getting all that anywhere else (let alone at a 4 star hotel in Inner Harbor Baltimore) for just $229 - definitely not too expensive! RADIATE2010 is a Deal!

GIVE:

We pay quite a bit to get a secular education that will help us make a living. Please consider a much smaller investment to get a spiritual education at RADIATE2010 that will equip a student to make a life! If you would like to gift a tax-deductible gift for one of our students to attend RADIATE2010, please write your check payable to Campus Crusade for Christ & send it to 36 Bartlett St. New Brunswick, NJ 08901. You can include a note saying "This is scholarship money for a student to attend RADIATE2010" and we will make sure it gets to the right place. Please don't write in the memo note on the check but rather use a separate note. You will get a tax-deductible receipt when your check is processed and an update after January 1st on how well the students enjoyed the conference.
