Thanksgiving Week 2025

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are grateful this year for God's grace.  In the midst of a year of loss and difficulty, He has been near to us, provided for and cared for us.

Catelin has been cancer free for more than one year!  Her last hurdle is reconstruction surgery on December 5, and she will recover living with us for the next month.

We are also grateful for the privilege of serving with Cru, and partnering with you.  Kaylan, Cru staff at Radford University shared this story from this fall.

"I'm giving out Cru surveys wiuth my guy Reagan and I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Go to Muse (the freshman dorm hall).  When we go there, there was absolutely nobody there.  In my head I definitely said, 'Bruhhh, I'm tripping.'  As we were about to leave, this guy came out of Muse on a skateboard.

I complimented his skateboard, introduce myself, and go on to give him a Cru survey.  Long story short, this Cru survey turns into a spiritual conversation and then into a gospel presentation.  Right in front of Muse, all of Heaven rejoiced as David prayed to receive Christ."

We love supporting our staff as they step out in faith like this every day.

As we continue to invest in our work with Cru, we are trusting the Lord for the financial resources to support our calling.  Over the last two years quite a few of our partners have had to end their support, and we are asking the Lord for an additional $20,000 in year end giving.

Would you prayerfully consider giving a year end gift of $1,000, $500, $200 or some other amount?

If you prefer to give by check, you can make out the check to Cru and mail it to our address at 4126 Stonewall Drive, Orlando, FL 32812.  The easiest way is to visit give.cru.org/0374749 and make a gift there.  

With love and thanks,

P.S.  We have noticed that several of our partners have discovered simple, tax-wise ways to maximize their impact, especially at years end.  Scan the QR code or click here to read more.
