Whole Campus Whole World
Thank you for your prayers for Zack, as he completed the screenplay for the video commissioned by the leadership of Cru’s Campus Ministry. I (Naomi) got to help by casting the voice over actor. The video debuted on an All-Campus staff livestream to introduce Cru’s new vision statement: “The whole campus to the whole world in this generation.”
Fellow Cru staff have told us this new vision as seen in the video energized and reminded them why they joined staff in the first place. “I was glued and sooo inspired watching this,” a Bridges staff friend told Zack.
Decorating the Tree
Our family enjoyed decorating our Christmas tree with UT students from Nigeria, Malaysia, and Taiwan. Spending time with them was a blessing to us, and I got this text from one of the students…
“I’m glad you all had us over. Spending time with your family really brought us joy and comfort as we’re getting ready for [studying for finals].”
Vision Conference
This year, I (Naomi) will again serve as the Prayer Coordinator for the Children of Abraham Track at Vision Conference. I praise God for the privilege of designing this role for COA. With the support of the conference leadership team, I was also able to train a handful of staff to duplicate, in their respective Tracks, this same role. Vision is our most strategic ministry event of the year so we need prayer!
(Below: students discuss a gospel tract)
Annalei and Miah will be coming to Vision with me. They will be attending the Ambassadors Track to join Christian students from all over the world. They will receive ministry training and be challenged to take steps of faith in their own lives. We are so thankful they will be given this opportunity.
