That’s enough to fill Mile High Stadium 5 times! This is Cru’s most fruitful year ever, praise God! In addition, there were 36,800 students actively sharing their faith. That means each of those saw about 10 students come to know the Lord. Wow! There is no other organization in the world that has so many people and resources focused toward reaching young people. Nicole and I are honored God has called us to be part of this leadership engine for the body of Christ as we connect students to Christ, engage young people in life-changing discipleship and send leaders to expand God’s Kingdom around the world. Thank you for sending us to this mission field!
