“Behold, I will do something
new, now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of
it?
I will even make a roadway
in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert.”
Something new springing up…
In late November we were invited to give leadership to a
rising CRU summer missions project in Santa Monica. In January we flew to Denver to join our
“lead” team of 8 Senior Staff. The 8 of
us received training and began to plan for our summer. We have both read dozens
of student applications and have enjoyed talking to each student we
reviewed. We’re so excited for the 7
weeks (June 4- July 18) we have to deeply invest in the lives of staff,
interns, students, and peoples of Santa Monica, …what an honor!
A Roadway in the wilderness..
We received news recently that we will not be “leading”
the AIA students next year. We are open to dialoguing with the new AIA leadership about different roadways that God may open in the months to come. While this
causes us both deep sadness we are confident that God is moving out ahead of
us, instilling us with a renewed desire to disciple collegians. A few things we do know: Daniel will continue to work with CRU’s
Leadership Development Team overseeing New Staff and Intern development for our
Pacific Southwest region. Margee will
begin to get involved in ministering to PSW CRU staff moms. But, she longs and needs to also be part of a
Cru campus team, so please pray for that to happen!!
Rivers in the desert…
Margee has really enjoyed leading a small group of 4 student
athletes this semester as they study about the Holy Spirit. (Below: Hannah and
Nico are pictured on either side of Margee with their bible study leader,
Audrey from last year). The 4 of them
had an amazing picnic with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge during spring
break.
The picture below was taken
on Maundy Thursday when their study combined with the Cal women's swim team study for
communion, bible study and fun!!
Behold On Wednesdays Daniel led a men’s
discipleship group of 3 guys who really “caught it”. Each of them reached out to a group of
other men: golfers, tri-athletes, and greeks.
They studied a powerful devotional by CRU named “Thirsty” about how to
be filled with the Holy Spirit and all of their lives got changed. Daniel also mentors a former football player,
Brett who started 2 bible studies! 1 for football players & 1 for men’s
crew + other athletes.

Do pray
for us as we head into summer, that God continues to do “something new” and
makes “roadways in the wilderness” for
us!
Love, Daniel and Margee
