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.

UNT alumni, Bryan & Taylor Rollins, are both 6th grade teachers in Texas (Wylie and Rowlett, respectively). 

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.

Sarah Carozza, HBSM alum from West Virginia, teaches 1st grade in Fairmont WV. (Her classroom is the one pictured at the top of this post.)

Shane Mercy, HBSM alum from WVU, directs band in Roanoke, VA.

Jarred, LSU alum, is a principal in New Orleans.



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.

From Idea to Published!

  Last night I taught at Philly Cru's city-wide meeting (virtually) for a series they're hosting called "The Gospel & ____." My topic was "The Gospel & Social Media," which is one of my favorites things to teach. In 2014 when I spoke about it at Cru's Spring Break conference, people asked me if I could put some of it in writing. I liked the idea, but it was also the year we were moving to Italy, and while writing in the Italian countryside sounds dreamy, our city life in Italia was full of other endeavors. In 2017, after we had been back in the U.S. for a year, I wondered if it might be the time to start writing. My wondering turned to certainty when I began consistently waking up at 5AM without an alarm, which gave me two hours of alone time on an average day. I knew the Lord was guiding me because I never (ever ever) wake up on my own that early, yet I consistently was up and felt clear-headed and compelled to write. My bff commemorated the co

Bill's wife, Vonette, had always been integral to the ministry, and she and Bill worked together as a team even while they raised children. Steve's wife, Judy, had done the same, and together, the Brights led us through a ceremonial time of celebrating 50 years of ministry and inducting the next phase of leadership.  We were in the room for this beautiful ceremony. This meaningful summer marked our first year on staff with Cru. Our first united staff conference was this experience. It made a big impact on us. We were young, and inexperienced in ministry and adulthood, but we vividly remember the laying on of hands, the anointing with oil, and the complete reverent su
