What A Difference A Quarter Makes

God continues to amaze us here at UC Davis. When the fall quarter ended we had 2 staff members (Jennifer and Dave) and about 30-35 students involved.

We were excited to add two new staff members (Jason & Monica) to start the Winter quarter. Our desire was to continue to reach out to students on campus with the message of Christ. God truly exceeded our wildest expectations.

The first week on campus we handed out 3800 copies of our “Real Life News”. In addition, 100 students attended an evangelistic message that week on “Making a Millennial-Sized Resolution”.

That first week provided the momentum we needed to carry us through the rest of the quarter. Since then, we’ve been averaging about 70 students at our weekly meeting, nearly double from last quarter. Praise God!

Since that first week, we’ve continued to try to reach out to students on campus.

One of the new ideas we implemented was our yo-yo outreach. We ordered 300 yo-yo’s with our Crusade website printed on it. (www.daviscru.com)

Over a two week period, our two New Staff members handed out spiritual interest questionnaires and free yo-yo’s at the freshmen dining commons.

About 180 of the 300 questionnaires that were filled out had a positive response.

As a result, our new staff have had dozens of students to meet with, resulting in several students trusting Christ. They’ve also been able to start a couple of new freshmen Bible studies.

Praise God for His continued blessings, and thank you for your continued support and for your partnership.

  • We have several more students who have accepted Christ this quarter.
  • We now have 12 Bible studies, 4 of which are being led by students.

PRAYER

  • Several other Christian groups on campus have recently approached us about training them in evangelism. Pray for us as we strive to provide training to others in the body of Christ.
  • Pray for us as we wait to hear about our adoption. We have no idea how long it might take before God brings a child into our family.
  • Jen and I will be spending the summer in Ocean City, New Jersey on a summer missions project. We’ll be leaving a full month before school ends. Pray for us as we begin preparing for next fall.
