Courage of Freshmen

     Imagine starting college as a Christian, knowing there are probably other believers out there, but not knowing how to find them. Sela (from Kansas, on the right) and Valentina (from Guatemala, in the middle) both came to Nova Southeastern University walking with Jesus. Sela, strong in her faith, wanted to be known for her beliefs at college, but Valentina was more afraid of losing her way, not having had that Christian model at home.

  Both students received a message through Instagram from our Cru Coaching Center team, distance coaches who can help launch a gospel community on any campus. They said “yes” to helping us get something started there, and that’s how Cru at Nova came into being! Because of Sela, Valentina, and their Cru staff distance coach, Cru was there to greet the next batch of freshmen, and finding other Christians at Nova got a lot easier.

  With over 4k US campuses and less than 2k Cru missionaries, the Coaching Center has been a necessary innovation, equipping students and volunteers who are passionate about bringing the gospel to their campus. Please pray for these brave student and volunteer leaders, and tell us if you know someone who wants to be used by God on their campus!
