Once the clock starts ticking, time will run out fast. And it all begins in just a few short weeks - when this year's freshmen take their first steps on campus.

They'll be excited and scared ... filled with anxiety as they try to make friends and other big decisions that will determine the next four years AND the rest of their lives. And they'll also be open. Open to friendships. Open to conversations. Open to Cru. Open to Jesus.

But they won't stay that way.

This is why it's so important that we reach them during this brief window - to connect them with Jesus and answer their spiritual questions before the world does.

With your help, we can - by giving them one of our most powerful evangelism tools, Freshman Survival Kits!

Normally Cru can reach one freshman for just $10.37. Today every gift will be DOUBLED by a $250,000 Matching Challenge - so every $10.37 connects TWO students with a Cru ministry ... And this can change lives for eternity!

Incoming students can pick up their Freshman Survival Kit right at orientation. It includes many practical gifts freshmen are eager to get - plus, information about how to get plugged into Cru activities and, most importantly, how to find hope in Jesus!

Amazingly, because of the Matching Challenge, it costs just $10.37 to reach TWO students with a Freshman Survival Kit. How many freshmen will you reach?

Please give generously as God leads you today and bring hope to students who urgently need to hear the Good News!
