As an extreme extrovert, adjusting to the National Operations Team for this one year assignment has had its ups and downs. But I (Lee) am so encouraged by the impact our team is having in the lives of students!
Preview Weekend
One way we give lift to the Great Commission is helping match up college seniors with opportunities to serve the Lord as full time missionaries with Cru. Our recent “Preview Weekend” is one way we do that.
Here is a quote from a student who came for the weekend to learn more about how he could use his God-given talents and passions for the Kingdom:
“I remember during one activity having that moment where I said, “I could see myself doing this someday”. It really helped me understand the level of challenges your team is taking on, and I really like to think strategically like that. I would love to be on your team.” – Nat
Big Break
Our team also helps out with Cru’s annual Spring Break outreach, called “Big Break”. The coolest thing we help with is training on doing evangelism using online tools. Check out this God story!
“My best friend back home came from a Christian family so I didn’t know if I needed to text her the link to the video we were sharing – but I did. She texted me back and said, ‘I literally just cried. I’ve been feeling really hopeless and horrible lately. And last night I prayed for a sign that I’m still worth it, that I’m still meant to live, and that God still cares for me and today you sent that to me.’” – Allison
