Spring Breakers have arrived
“Ironically, Robert was headed to Big Break (Cru’s spring break missions trip) to tell others how they can have a personal relationship with God when he did not!”

A few weeks ago we posted about a campus-wide outreach at The University of Illinois called “Before & After.” The idea was to create a curiosity on campus that would enable us to share our individual stories throughout the week. And it worked. If you were wearing your shirt, there was a pretty good chance someone would ask you what it was about. We even overheard a student asking a bus driver if he know what it was about!
One of the biggest successes of the week was the posting of testimonies on YouTube. We created a YouTube channel and about 80 of the registered students posted their story and shared a link to it on Facebook.
In one week, those 80 videos were watched 10,000 times!
Matt, a junior, shared about three of those viewings. Matt was out with some of his friends from class on Wednesday night wearing his green shirt when Jamie, one of his friends, told Matt that he watched his video. This conversation allowed Matt to share his testimony with the others who were there at the time. Afterwards, Jamie, who is an atheist, told Matt that he watched his video not once, but three times, and that he has no way to account for the apparent work of God in Matt’s life.
Listen to Matt’s story:
Another Cru student made a song about her story…listen & watch:
Could this be real? I’m sure you’ve had dreams, but have they been like this one?
Take a minute to process your life, your current reality or fears. I will bet you have something that you are struggling to find it hard to believe, it cannot be done, this will never change or you fill in the blank. We all have lies we believe. If you feel like being transparent, share it!
How would you finish the statement ” God is greater than my . . .”?
My spiritual multiplication story started with Darin. Darin, new staff of Campus Crusade for Christ at Purdue University, started mentoring a group of freshman men. (Bart, Brian, Matt, Matt & more)
They began to meet with other students, sharing their faith faithfully and mentoring them to be Christ-Centered laborers. My junior year I started attending a Bible Study that Darin’s disciples led.
Bart, a senior, mentored me and Ben my senior year.
Now from the Bible Study thousands of lives have been changed. Ben is a church planter in Idaho, Bart a pastor in Indiana, Matt C serves with CCC in Rome, Italy with Brian B and Steve D, Joe, is living out his faith in the marketplace in MN, John is in seminary in Canada…and I’m on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ.
(note: the changed lives that has resulted throughout the years is innumerable to count. Praise God for his plan and for the faithfulness of Darin, who’s small investment has changed the lives of thousands and thousands)
Here’s how it works, enjoy and go in faith yourself!

We rolled up to our new home on March 30th after closing. We gathered our belongings from 2 different locations and with sacrificial help from friends, moved it all in! We’ve “Landed” and we wake up still completely amazed at witnessing God move and for his care for our family. We are blessed indeed. There’s countless things that are incredible about this place, but the most is how we feel so undeserving of this place. God in his kindness and grace provided a perfect place. Thank you for your steadfast prayer through tiring months of waiting.
We quickly plunged into ministry while trying to un-box. Over 130 soon-to-be graduates from Great Lakes universities crammed into a room in the Hilton for a weekend of training. We were thrilled to be a part of helping train and them to develop their full financial support needed before heading to their assignments around the world. You are a part of that 
In the fall they’ll be “Sent” to make disciples of many nations.

Ever wonder what more Campus Crusade does? I’m inspired, encouraged, burdened and hopeful for how the Campus Crusade Cincy Metro Team is not just meeting the spiritual needs of South Asia, but also the tangible needs. If you visited, you couldn’t stop from witnessing the corruption of sin visually all around, but specifically with women/children in the sex slave trade. Can you even imagine?
You can register HERE.
Campus Crusade currently has a groundbreaking team of staff serving at the college campuses there, meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of the people.
Pray:
It’s brutal out there. During the most influential years of life hear how students have influenced others!
