“I have literally been thinking about this exact thing for the past three days!” That’s what Breanna said to Travis when he began talking to her about how she could have a relationship with God during the Day of Outreach at Cru’s Winter Conference in Washington, D.C.
The Day of Outreach also happened to be Travis’s birthday. To celebrate, he and some friends from Radford University stopped by an ice cream shop before heading into the city to engage in spiritual conversations with people. While there, Travis noticed that Breanna, who worked at the shop, had no customers, so he decided to talk with her.
After learning a little about her, he asked, “Did you grow up with any religious background?” “No,” she said, “but I have literally been thinking about this exact thing for the past three days! This is crazy!” Travis (wearing a blue cap in the photo) said, “It’s not coincidental!” He shared the gospel with her and how, through faith in Jesus, she could have eternal life with God. “Do you want to receive that?” She said yes! Right there, she placed her faith in Christ over the cash register.
From late December to early February, Cru hosts 12 conferences across the country, like the one in D.C. These conferences connect students to God’s heart for the world and equip them with hands-on experiences to share the gospel with those around them.
Please pray that those who received Christ as their Savior during these conferences will continue to grow in their faith. Also, pray that the students who attended the conferences will be motivated to share their faith back on campus and that they will consider how they can use their lives for God’s glory.
Thank you for your prayers and partnership in our ministry so that people like Breanna hear the good news of God’s love and forgiveness.
Yours in Christ,
Steve & Robin
