August Happenings (2022)

Call Me Maybe

I was driving east to go to an outreach we had planned at Penn Highlands Community College and then meet with some student leaders at Saint Francis University, when I got a call from a former student. Sabrina (who had graduated IUP a couple of years ago) called me, enthusiastically telling me about a younger girl at church who had asked Sabrina to disciple her. Sabrina talked about how excited she was to disciple this girl and how she felt prepared because of her experience with IUP Cru, As I talked on the phone with Sabrina, while driving to the two campuses, I realized what a beautiful picture the Lord had given me of our prayer, hope, and vision for Cru. At Cru we want to win, build, and send students in the Gospel. I was headed to Penn Highlands to meet with students and share God’s love with them (win). Then I was headed to SFU to get to meet with student leaders and encourage them (build). All the while, I was talking on the phone with a former student who had graduated two years ago, talking about about how God had prepared her for this moment through IUP Cru (send). What a beautiful reminder from the Lord. Thank you for partnering with me to win, build, and send students!

Love,
Rachel

Ministry Update

 

In our region, my boss (Phil) and I are about to be on four campuses! Two new focuses for me are - Saint Francis University (SFU) and Penn State University - Altoona (PSU - Altoona). SFU has a pretty established movement (we had 150 students come to the bonfire, and 30 - 40 students regularly come to weekly meetings). On the other hand, PSU- Altoona is brand new! We had a student reach out to start a movement on her campus. It has been such a joy getting to encourage our students in an ongoing movement (SFU) and also getting to walk alongside a student as she trusts God to start a brand new movement (PSU - Altoona). 

 

Phil and I are also both still very involved at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), which has been a blessing. In addition, Phil has officially taken over  Penn Highlands Community College. While I have loved being a part of Penn Highlands Cru and I am sad to step away, I’m excited to see how God will work through Phil in the students’ lives. Also, I’m still hoping to disciple a few of the female students.

JUST AROUND THE RIVERBEND (What’s Coming Up)

Fall Retreat is coming up! I am so excited! Please join me in praying for students to come to this incredible opportunity to get away from campus for a weekend and reconnect with each other and the Lord. One fun thing is we’ll be joining Cru from another region (my boyfriend, Noah’s). I’m excited to get to do ministry together!
