I am thrilled to share that I (Audra) have been accepted as a full-time missionary with Cru High School in the Portland Metro Area. Since April 2025, Jeremy and I have had the privilege of serving as affiliate staff members, and this new role is a direct answer to a calling God placed on my heart in 2022, when I returned to school to pursue a degree in Biblical Studies. After spending one day serving with our local youth group, the Holy Spirit confirmed that this was exactly the path God intended for me.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to each of you whom God has called as ministry partners through your prayers and financial support. I also want you to know that Jeremy and I pray for each of you.
“So we ourselves should support them [missionaries] so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth.” 3 John 1:8 NLT
Cru High School empowers mentors to reach students directly on their campuses, inviting them to Know Jesus, helping them Grow spiritually, and equipping them to Go and share their faith. Over the past year, serving Scappoose and St. Helens, our team has co-facilitated conferences that provide students a safe environment to explore their relationship with God. This spring, I even had the joy of helping lead nine students on a mission trip to Mexico. It is inspiring to see our student leaders managing campus clubs where they demonstrate God's love to their peers.
We have seen incredible momentum in the Portland Metro area, with existing student movements sparking new ones on unreached campuses. This growth brings a vital need for partners who can provide the resources and support required to sustain this ministry. I am certain of the Lord's call on my life for this purpose, and I invite you to prayerfully consider joining us as a partner to bring the gospel to this generation.
“Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 NLT
