This year has been defined by transitions! Lee stepped into multiple leadership roles – first as a director for one of the largest Summer Projects in the world in Orlando, FL, then as the director for the Omaha metro team: a scope that covers 65,000 students on 14 campuses.

As a family we have transitioned from being a spontaneous young couple to welcoming our first child, Asher Lee, into our family on November 9th. On top of that, we found out the State of Kansas is putting our nephew and two nieces up for adoption – and we are preparing to adopt them in a few short months.

In the midst of a year so defined by change, we praise God that He remains the same! God continues to call students across our scope to Himself. We think of Marco at UNO who just came to Christ out of Buddhism after 2 1/2 years of meeting with one of our staff guys; and of Spence at Clarkson College who, after growing up in church, finally gave his life to Christ and is experiencing a peace he has never felt before; and also of the two middle aged Chinese doctors who came to Christ while researching at UNMC and will take the gospel back to very influential platforms in China.

God has blessed our ministry this year, and we are trusting Him to continue to provide for us financially. Would you consider making a special year end gift of $300, $200, $100 or some other amount? We are in need of $4,000 to cover Asher’s medical bills, as well as $10,000 to purchase a reliable mini van. If you are able, you can give a gift online at https://give.cru.org/0518612. Your response by Dec. 28th is appreciated!

Thank you for partnering with us!
Lee and Chelsea Bickerstaff
