Praying for our Cru alumni who are now teachers

Brittany's photo caption reads: "First apple of the school year! What I don't tell you is that my football boys get these in their breakfast bags every morning, and they give me the ones they've dropped too many time for it to be edible. But it's the thought that counts, right?!"

It's so fun to see SO MANY CRU ALUMNI who are living life on mission in the classroom as teachers! 

We love y'all, and we're so proud of you! Whether public school or private school, we know you're encouraging kiddos with the love of Jesus that's in you.

Everyone, will you please join us in praising God for these Spirit-filled teachers! Please pray with us a blessing of God's mighty strength, love, patience, and protection over them.

Brittany, UNT alum, teaches English 10 in Tyler, TX.

Cristina, our former Italy teammate, teaches high school English in Rio Grande Valley, TX.

Kelsey Cheshire, UNT alum, teaches in Haslet, TX. 

Eli Lopez, UNT alum, is the choir director at WWHS in Plano, TX

Jonathan Cao, UNT alum, directs high school band in Plano, TX.

Madison Paulette teaches art in Franklin, TN.

Moises Garza, UNT alum, teaches high school in Weslaco, TX.

These faithful alumni are living out the vision that we prayed over them when they were students. They cling tightly to the Lord, and plant seeds of love in the lives of so many others. 

We rejoice at the ripples of God's goodness that these teachers bring to their classrooms, and we pray for the Lord's protection and provision for them this year and in the years to come.

May the Lord protect you and provide for you. May you draw close to Him and be strengthened by His might and unending grace. May you outpour God's love to the children in your care, lead lives above reproach, and show them the love of Christ. In Jesus name, amen.
