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.

evangelism. Pray for us as we strive to provide training to others in the body of Christ.

God brings a child into our family.
