Growth at Marrs Middle School



Cru after-school club at Marrs Middle School is growing every week!

More than 55 students filled the classroom at a recent meeting. It took every ounce of my (Gary's) energy to keep their attention as I shared the Gospel with them. But God was obviously at work because they stayed with me ... even asking good questions along the way!

Many of them raised their hands saying they wanted to believe in Jesus! We then asked those students to pray along as I led a prayer to receive Christ. Although we didn't get a count, the level of interest and understanding was high, so we believe that many were genuinely praying to believe and follow Jesus!

Please pray for these students to continue to grow in Christ as Heidi and Nathanael continue to lead them week after week. We thank God for these volunteers. 

Please pray also for more volunteers as the group is growing fast!

Renewed Interest at Cru Accelere


It has been a semester of renewed interest in Cru at Accelere!

Accelere is an alternative school in north Omaha for 18-21 year olds who are coming back to get the diplomas they missed out on earlier. We are seeing exciting interest and interaction with 25 or more students often joining us for our Friday lunches.

Their spiritual interest is definitely a step ahead of previous years. They are asking great questions and it's evident many are really thinking about what a relationship with Christ would be like.

Please pray for the students and our Cru volunteers 
who so faithfully and passionately minister to them.
