Thank you for visiting our ministry page!
In Luke 10:2, Jesus says to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." If you become a ministry partner, you are not only enabling more laborers but becoming a laborer yourself! Thank you for considering joining our team!
Here's the Reality: There are roughly 500,000 college students across South Florida and 30,000 specifically at FAU. Of those students, roughly 1% are connected to an on-campus, gospel movement leaving many students without a Christ-centered community or a gospel influence in their lives. On the other hand, in the past three years we have seen our large-group weekly meeting at FAU grow from 20 students to over a 100 and our mission trip sending grow from 5 students to 18. When considering these facts, it is clear that there are significant needs to be addressed as well as huge opportunities to capitalize on in the power of the Holy Spirit.
So what is our Gospel Vision? To raise up student leaders at FAU and staff in the Boca Raton area so that we can reach every corner of FAU (athletes, international students, faculty, etc.) with the gospel and reach the surrounding campuses in the coming years. Additionally, with the incredible ethnic and cultural diversity of South Florida and our international missions opportunities as a ministry, we can make a worldwide impact for Christ by reaching students in our own backyard as well as sending out culturally competent missionaries to the nations.
How do we plan on accomplishing that? Cru uses a strategy that we have coined "Win, Build, Send." Win: Head out onto these campuses and share with students what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Build: Spiritually invest in the lives of young adults, teaching them to dive deep into the truth and grace of God and to clearly share their faith in humility and boldness. Send: Commission our students to Win and Build where they live, work, play, and beyond! Win people to Jesus, Build them up in their faith, and Send them out to multiply their faith locally and globally.
We are beyond encouraged by what God has already done in South Florida and are even more excited to see what He will do with your steps of faith in joining in His mission of reconciliation. We need prayer and financial partners to not only continue but accelerate our ministry efforts. Would you consider becoming a monthly financial partner at $50, $100, $250 or some other amount significant to you? Annual or one-time gifts also go a long way towards helping us reach students for christ.
