All month long, students in the Jersey Metro ministry of Cru
have been making famous the story behind the name, the man, the living – Jesus
Christ!
Big-Break (Panama City, FL)
While
students from around the nation made their way toward the sun for Spring break,
our students looked for ways to connect them to the Son for every season that
may come their way.
Gas for 1250 miles
- $650, sitting in a minivan with 6 other women - 0 leg room, caravanning with
another minivan of 6 women - 10 pit stops, sharing the Gospel with over 2000
students --- priceless.
I
had the privilege of accompanying 12 student women to join about 1200 others in
Panama City Beach, FL to share the good news of Jesus. We started conversations
with over 5000 people and it led to over 2000 Gospel presentations, which then
led to 157 beach goers indicating decisions for Christ!!
The week was long and I am still recovering, but God is so great!

During
the same week, the students who were on Spring Break but couldn’t go to Florida
went to blitz two campuses who were not on break. The following week (Spring break for the other ten campuses we work on) the other students blitzed two new campuses!
Campus Blitz - Where a large group of people post flyers, take spiritual surveys, prayer walk, and start spiritual conversations with as many as possible within a day!
Staff
and about 20 students who participated visited a total of four universities and
had 158 spiritual conversations that led to 68 Gospel presentations and 1
decision for Christ!

Just
before Spring Break, an alumni panel came to Kean Cru to share how they live
out their vocation (to know, enjoy & share God) through their current
occupations (what occupies their time).
During that week many students were challenged and made efforts to start spiritual conversations despite what occupied their time – midterms!

Although there are many obstacles to living out our
vocation, we must keep intimate connection with the King who calls us and has
gone before us into the field.
