Let us not become weary of doing good.

Thank you for standing with us and supporting us as we serve with Cru.  It is an honor to serve with you to help introduce others to Jesus Christ.

Cru is a missionary sending ministry.  The most important work of Cru is working directly with people on college campuses, high schools, the military, and all around the world.  Every other part of the organization (finance, HR, technology, donations, etc) is necessary to support them, but only exist to see those staff and students be able to share the gospel, disciple others, and send them to reach others.

Recently, I've been asked to take on an assignment at Cru to lead change as we reorganize our HR system, and it has been overwhelming and challenging.  The last two months have been, well, really too busy.  I really think it will be better for our staff for years to come, so I'm glad it is happening,  but honestly, I'm feeling kind of like I'm holding on for dear life!

When I'm in a period like this, I am encouraged when I hear about a story like the one below.  This is the story of a Thai staff member, Joy.  A year ago, she joined the Digital Cohort of the Next Gen program with no experience at all. She simply brought her mustard seed of faith.

God honored that step. Today, Joy is training others and helping churches in Thailand enter the digital harvest, seeing real fruit along the way. Take five minutes to watch her story.

You are a part of Joy's story and the impact she is having.  It might seem far away, but the staff I'm helping are helping staff like Joy all over the world.  

Chapter 6 of Galatians closes with several admonitions, and one of them stood out to me today.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."  Galatians 6:9-10.

To be honest, I think Dayna and I are feeling weary.  It's not that we don't want to do good, but this year has been wearing on us, especially emotionally between the family challenges we have faced, our culture in the U.S, and the busyness of the ministry.

Thank you for praying for us, for supporting our work, and for you friendship.  

With love and thanks,
