Located in North America...
Through Cru, I have the amazing opportunity to be used by God to reach students on college campuses in Colorado Springs, CO, and Pueblo, CO, who are at a critical stage of life. Many of our students often ask for the first time whether there is a God. They are trying to figure out what they believe and why they believe it. Should they believe it? With Cru I get the opportunity to go onto these campuses and interact with people both believing and non-believing and actively live a life "not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes..." (Rom. 1:16). I get to do this through evangelism, that is, entering campus and initiating spiritual conversations with students that lead into a gospel presentation. We are blessed to regularly see students place their faith in Christ. However, we don't just want converts; we want to make disciples who make disciples. Through small-group Bible study, topical discipleship groups, a weekly gathering, and one-on-one meetings, I get to see the Holy Spirit use me to build up our students more and more in a life submitted to Christ. Lastly, one of the most amazing privileges I have is equipping our students to evangelize: taking them out to do so on campus, bringing them on a summer mission with us, and sending them out as they graduate to reach a world in need. Every day, I am surprised in some way by how God moves and am filled with gratitude that I have been graced to be on the frontlines of reaching our college students here in the United States.
