Back to school

Hello dear friends,
I am way over due on updating my blog, but I am excited to share what our Savior is doing at Radford University and around the world.  Below is a link to a video made by one of our students Ashley Woolwine sharing pictures from the year!

Students at our weekly meetings

Pictures!

 

This is a picture of our team of students that spent a week

in Panama City, FL, sharing the Gospel with students on the beach! Over 900 other CRU students joined us and over 277 students' lives were changed as they accepted Christ!

The picture above is of our Student Leadership Team, who plans our weekly meetings. These students help lead the other 160 students in our movement. They each use their passions and gifts to build up the body of Christ at Radford. The different teams are prayer, community, outreach, retreats, conferences & world vision, small group leaders, men's and women's movement directors, and worship band. 

Update on what the Lord has been doing

Hi there! Thanks so much for coming to check out my blog! I'm sorry it has been so long since I've written. I have so much to tell you. This year. I've been interning with a Christian ministry at Radford University called Campus Crusade for Christ. It has been the greatest year of my life! I've grown so much in my walk with the Lord, and I've never felt so purposeful. I've been able to use my passions, gifts, and time to help build God's kingdom.

Here are a couple things I've had the joy of seeing the Lord do this year:

* Bring together over 60 different friends to team together as my ministry partners to pray and give to help make my ministry stronger! This in itself is a miracle and huge blessing!

* I have seen over 160 students at RU get involved in our community, joining small group Bible studies, learning how to have a relationship with the Lord, learning how to share their faith, and learning how to love God while in college!
* It has been incredible to see the Lord answer many prayers! A big one is the way our students are growing in their love for the Lord. They are really living out a lifestyle of loving God and loving people, and it's helping transform our university.

* Over 5 students have had the opportunity to share the Gospel in front of their entire class!

* We had a huge Super Bowl party with the intention of meeting students where they are. Over 70 students came! They enjoyed free food, fun, and heard the Gospel from Australian Christians who came to share with our campus!

* Having 4 Australian students come for a missions trip to share the love and truth of Christ with our campus for a week and seeing many students lives changed.

* I was so touched as our students gave over $1,000 to help Orphans in Niger have running water and food!

* I love how my job is all about pouring into our students so they can help change lives for Christ. We have over 50 students leading small group Bible studies next year! Over 40 students are spending their summers on Summer Projects missions trips, growing in Christ and sharing his love!

* We had over 30 students come to Big Break, a spring break missions trip where we grew in authentic and loving community, grew in our view and love of Christ, and stepped out in faith, seeing over 20 students accept Christ on the beaches of Panama City!

Sorry this is such a long list, but you've helped bring tremendous eternal changes in the lives of many students, and I can't help but celebrate! Mere words are not enough! Thank you!

Katie

P.S. Right now I'm actually taking some time away from campus to help build my ministry team. I only have half the monthly support I need to stay in full-time ministry! But I'm excited to see how the Lord brings 15 new monthly partners to join my ministry team!

Hello World!

Welcome to my new blog, where I will keep you updated on what the Lord is doing at Radford University! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! I am so excited to keep you updated on what the Lord is doing, keep in touch with you, and get your prayer requests! 

Praises:
* Last Wed. I helped lead a campus united time of fasting, worship, and prayer as one body in Christ and it went really well as students drew near to our Holy God and each other! 
* On Halloween, we had a time of worship and prayer, then did a scavenger hunt together. It was a great opportunity for students to have a fun and safe alternative for Halloween, and it allowed the students to meet new friends! It was a great time of fellowship!
* I am teaching a junior women's Bible study and a freshmen women's Bible study, and it's been amazing  to see these women fall in love with Jesus and have true friendships with each other.
