Day of Prayer

Thank you so very much for keeping us in your prayers. We have moved from our very eventful summer to our very eventful fall! School is in full swing, and lot’s is happening with Cru. I wish we could have time to catch you up with everything, but here are a couple of things!

Worldwide Day of Prayer
    Each fall and spring we set aside a day to seek the Lord for His continued direction for us a global movement. In the fall we set aside the first Tuesday in October, to remember when Dr & Mrs Bright launched our ministry through prayer back in October of 1951. What a rich heritage we have! Yesterday, October 2nd our theme was "My Sheep Hear My Voice."

      As we were meditating on this and praying for our ministry around the world, we were also thinking of YOU. You have made so much possible through your partnership with us and you have ministered to us! So, we want to pray for YOU! If you have prayer requests that we can be praying for, please send them to us at barrett.brown@cru.org. We would love to pray for you! If you'd like to pray along with us, you can see many of our prayer requests at our website.

Some of the situations they have managed in the last 18 months include
