Exciting News! – August 2011 Update

I’m Engaged!!

I proposed to Cameron on August 10 and she said yes!  It was a day to remember.  For the full story, click here.

New Campus Assignment

I’m excited to announce that I will be on campus full-time at UC Davis starting in September.  Cameron is there, which is ideal since we’ll be married soon. 🙂  The movement is also in need of a male staff member who can raise up freshman guys and disciple students in the movement.  I just moved in to an extra room that belongs to a great family in Davis on August 1.  I’m currently getting settled, and since Davis is known as one of America’s best biking towns, am in the market for a bike!

To get an idea of what the Cru movement is like at Davis, vist the Davis Cru website.

Campus Crusade Name Change

After years of praying, Campus Crusade felt it was appropriate to start using a new name that would reduce one hindrance to the Gospel (the word “Crusade) and better represent the organization’s scope of ministry (not just our work on the “campus”).  The name chosen was “Cru”, a name that many of our ministries on campus have been going by for about a decade without the unneeded connotations that come with the old name.  We have a new name, but will continue with the same message that we have been proclaiming for 60 years.  I am behind this name change and feel that God will use it to help us proclaim Christ in even greater ways than before.  To read an article that I wrote called “Why the Name Change”, click here.

Prayer Requests

  • My new staff team and I start planning for the fall quarter on September 5.  Pray for good preparation for a busy quarter, that our team would bond well, and dependence on the Lord.
  • Before I can start working with the staff team on September 5, I need to work on expanding my team of financial ministry partners.  Pray that God would bless this time of fundraising.
  • Pray for Cameron and me in the midst of engagement.  Pray for good communication, that we would serve and love each other, and good preparation for our wedding and married life.
