Happy New Year from the Hands

Posted on

The Christmas Season (and the whole year) has come to a close;
Only time left to share with you a few quick photos.

Advent candles, apple cakes, gingerbread and presents. . . hooray!
All helped us celebrate Jesus’ birthday.

Time with the grandparents made it just right;
Even accented by snowfall which made things so bright.

This year in ministry has been very good, yet not without struggle;
And you, through prayer, have played a vital role for which we are grateful!

Campus Crusade featured on ABC News

Posted on

Ashley Parrish is just one of thousands of students in the Southeast who went off to college and struggled with her faith. Through Campus Crusade and your partnership with us, the Lord renewed her heart for Jesus and now she’s growing alongside other Christians on her campus at the University of Georgia.

ABC’s Good Morning America recently did a profile story on “Faith on Campus” and chose Ashley to show how “Many Young People Turn Away from God in College, But It Doesn’t Have to Be That Way”

You can read the ABC news article and watch the video from Good Morning America in its entirety (just over 5 minutes) on the ABC site.

Although we don’t completely agree with ABC’s commentary for parents of students away at college (at the end of the video), the video and article are overall, quite positive towards Christianity and Campus Crusade’s activities on campus.

Thank you so much for your prayers and partnership which made it possible for literally thousands of Ashleys to experience life change through the gospel in 2005!!

I drove past this local restaraunt a couple times last week and kept thinking, “What’s wrong with this picture?!”

Just had to stop and snap a picture!

Well, Fat Boy could actually have a slight marketing angle here:
“Trying to watch your diet after the holidays? Try our lowfat shake with your double-chili-cheeseburger!”
