William Carey, the father of modern missions, was preparing to leave for India and commented to others, "I will go down if you will hold the rope." What a beautiful picture of ministry partnership.

Kimberly and I are grateful for how the Lord has deepened our understanding of who He is and what He did for us. For many years, we've had a desire to see people place their faith in Christ and grow in Him. College students and faculty need Christ and are uniquely positioned to own their faith and to make a personal decision to place their faith in Him. Would you pray with us that we as a ministry would continue to step into dark places on campus with the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ?

We've both served stateside and internationally, and given the reality of eternity and the desperate need people have for Christ, we help create space, time, and opportunities for students and faculty to encounter and experience the reality of the gospel in their own lives.

We strive for 100% of the students and faculty involved in our ministries to leave equipped for a lifetime of ministry. We want them all to consider what it may be like to live as a 'sent one' for a lifetime - in their homes, their communities, their churches, and their workplaces.

Thank you for your interest in our ministry. We'd be grateful for your partnership as you steward that which the Lord has entrusted to you. As we continue to invest our lives in what the Lord has called us to do, we're grateful to have you help "hold the rope" for us!

Please feel free to drop us a line at Eric.Rodgers(at)cru.org and Kimberly.Rodgers(at)cru.org if you have any questions! We'd also love to know how we can be praying for you.

Thanks again!
