Our faith is meant to be entrusted to others and multiplied. What would it take to see rapid multiplication of the gospel through students?
In March, I (Jeff) was able to visit and participate in the ministry that Cru has in Manila, Philippines. I was amazed at what the Lord is doing there! I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves. From June 2018 until April 2019, Cru in Metro Manila saw:
- 10,125 individual gospel conversations
- 6,755 students indicated decisions to trust Christ
- 771 students being holistically discipled
- 80 campuses with a ministry presence
- 11 partnerships with churches
What’s even more amazing is that the work isn’t happening through tons of full-time Christian workers; Cru in Metro Manila only has six full-time staff! Rather, the work is happening through students.
Students like Sam, Micah, and Rica (Filapina women pictured above) have been changed by the gospel, and are now sharing the gospel with their classmates, discipling those who have come to faith, training them to share the gospel and disciple others, and also searching for other like-minded students at different campuses without a gospel presence.
At times, they’ve even seen four generations of spiritual multiplication within eight weeks, all through new believers. That is absolutely rapid multiplication!
Praise the Lord for what he is doing in Manila!
We’re praying and working hard to see the Lord bring about this type of impact in Sacramento and beyond. Would you pray with us that the Lord would bring incredible fruitfulness in evangelism, discipleship, and sending through students in Sacramento, much like is happening in Manila?
We are so grateful for your partnership to help fulfill the Great Commission through students!
Prayer Requests
- Praise the Lord for what he’s doing in Manila, and pray for continued fruitfulness.
- Pray that the Lord would raise up students on every college and high school campus in Sacramento and beyond who would have a passion to reach their campus.
- Praise the Lord for students that the Lord has already raised up in Sacramento who are taking steps to reach their campus.
