Text Box: Every other summer, the U.S. Campus Crusade for Christ staff gather at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo. for the biennial staff conference. Roughly 6,000 of us descend on the small college town for two weeks in late July. Steve Douglass, the current president of Campus Crusade, as well as other leaders in the ministry speak to us about the ministry as a whole. We spend time praising God for what He has done in the past two years and praying to Him for direction for the next two. The leadership also brings in speakers from around the United States to encourage us and challenge us in our walks with the Lord. This year, the featured speaker is Rev. Tim Keller. Dr. Keller is the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. In addition to hearing from great speakers, the two weeks is a great time to catch up with old friends. I always enjoy seeing members of my Russia team. We all live around the world now. So the conference provides us an opportunity to catch up on each other’s lives. It is a wonderful time of connecting and hearing about what the Lord is doing. By the time you receive this, I will be out in Colorado. Please pray for my time there and that it would be encouraging and restful. Pray for God’s wisdom for the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. As always, thanks so much to each of you for your generosity and prayers. I so greatly appreciate them and each one of you. I pray that God continues to bless you in all you do. Take care! Serving for His kingdom, Christy “Publish His glorious acts throughout all the earth; tell everyone of the wonderful things He does.” Ps. 96:3 Please pray for . . .
