We took a short trip to Reno, NV

during September 15th

-20th

.  We went onwhat we call a vision trip, with the purpose

being to interact with students, rejuvenate

our spirits and give us a better idea of what

our life will look like once we report to ourassignment.

Wednesday night, I attended a Biblestudy for freshmen guys.  Cowboy Bob(staff), two students (Daniel and a freshman

named Casey who accepted Christ fourweeks ago), and I spent some time reading

Luke 7:36-50 and learning about God’samazing forgiveness.  I can’t describe how

awesome it was to look at the faces of Danieland Casey and see them really thinking about

what Jesus was saying in the passage.

 

Later that day, I sat in as Bob met

with a guy named Cody.  Cody is another

freshman at the University of Nevada Reno and is a history major.  Bob wentthrough some follow-up material called

Life Concepts, and this particular lesson

was titled: Stepping from Feelings of 

Unworthiness to Forgiveness.

The next morning we met up withthe leaders of some other ministries at

UNR for a prayer walk around campus.

While walking around UNR, I talked to

Bob about what the students were like.  Hesaid that they were very friendly and open

when he has initiated spiritual

conversations with them.  The thought of that got me excited, knowing that when we

report to campus Rachel and I are going to

get to spend our days sharing Jesus with

these students!

 -  Please pray as the Campus Crusade staff at UNR build up student leaders, teaching

them how to disciple other students.  

-  Pray that freshmen will continue to get involved with the Campus Crusade

movement.  

-  Rachel’s dad is doing great, and the anti-seizure medication is working!  Thank you

for praying for him. 

Probably the best day of our trip was the “CRU Day

of Fun.”  The staff and 15Campus Crusade students spent

that Saturday at Lake Tahoe.  We first played bocce ball onthe beach.  I was partnered with Jason, and it was a lot of fun

getting to know him more.

When the game was over, we sent the students on a

scavenger hunt.  They split into teams and had to run around

a local shopping center asking the business employees forvarious objects they had to collect, such as a blue M&M, a

chocolate chip and a little plastic spoon.  Rachel teamed up

with Kristen and Amanda and they were the first place

winners. 

 

Later that evening, we sat around the campfire asRyan Cleveland (staff) spoke on Matthew 19:16-23 andtalked about letting go of things we hold on to and giving

God complete control of our life.  Ryan then gave the

students the chance to confess to the group what they were

holding onto.  It was heartbreaking to hear about what theywere struggling with, but at the same time, incredible to see

them be so vulnerable with each other.  We feel so privileged

that God has called us to minister to these students.

 

From both of us,

Brad
