In the first 15 days of September, our sending team saw 15 of those we helped prepare get on the plane and head out to their assignments! It is so fun to see new missionaries reaching the field because we know they are going to have a great impact with the gospel. These new laborers who will use their skills and talents to further the Kingdom of Jesus all around the world.
We sent a family who will help develop the operational capacity of the growing ministry in Albania. Another couple left the USA to work among athletes in a Central Asian nation. Two couples and a family will be a team together reaching business people in another Central Asian country. We sent a Jesus Film couple back to work with film translations in Thailand. Another family will help the ministry in Australia by resourcing the technical needs of the ministry and by developing online outreach. Two one-year interns were sent to help expand the oral learners ministry of StoryRunners. God also called an intern to serve in our own MK2MK program here at HQ who will develop more outreach to see missionary kids engage in evangelism and discipleship. We rejoice to serve these special servants of the Lord. Thanks for your part in helping them get to their mission field!
Structure Change
Every now and then it’s important to review your overall structure to see if it is helping you get where you are planning to go.. Cru leaders have been prayerfully reviewing our whole US LDHR (Leadership Development/Human Resources) structure, which includes Steve and Rochelle’s Sending Team and other parts of the ministry that care for US staff members. The leadership is rolling out plans for change over the next several months that will help the LD-HR staff serve together more effectively and efficiently for Cru. The end result will help us reach more people for Christ.
We appreciate your prayers with us for a good change process and God’s direction through it all. Thanks for helping this happen through your partnership!
