Our goal: PRAYER

To mobilize a team of ministry partners To be involved in the Great Commission along with us

Through their prayers and generosity

To see God as our faithful provider for our part in His kingdom work and joyfully seize our unique opportunity to involve others in His work.

*Trusting God for His provisionThrough His people

Giving out of His resourcesTo accomplish His mission

Your belief systems affect your behavior and responses.What you believe has more to do with what you have accumulated

more than what God has communicated.What you believe to be true controls your responses

more than objective truth does

May we speak so effectively that people get our vision and desire to support this!

Giving to God and God giving to usVERTICAL – NEVER HORIZONTAL

Take our thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ

1 Kings 17:1-16

Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”Elijah Fed by Ravens 2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.” 5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. 7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to him: 9 “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” 11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” 12 “As surely as the LORD your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.” 13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain on the land.’” 15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.

There is tremendous competition

for the minds and hearts of

students.

C O M P E T I T I O N

This month at the University on Illinois Urbana-

Champaign, a select group of students will

show their humanitarian spirit by participating in

the Bleedin’ Heathens Blood Drive. On

February 12, they will eat cake to celebrate

Darwin Day, and earlier this year, the performed

“de-baptism” to celebrate Blasphemy Day.

--RELIGION DISPATCHES, FEBRUARY 2013

“While you are in this class, you will be expected to

be an Agnostic or Atheist. Anyone with sincere

religious beliefs will be expected to take off his

religious hat.”

—PROFESSOR AT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS

“Forget everything you learned about the

New Testament. Jesus was a homosexual

and magician.”

—PHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR AT

SOUTHEASTERN COLLEGE

“My youngest son is attending the University of

Oklahoma…[He] has been thoroughly brainwashed

by his professors. He has lost his faith in God and

has been taught that truth is relative.”

Before I tell you how our ministry is funded, do you have any questions?

Cru has no central funds for

paying salaries and ministry

expenses.

Like many other mission

organizations, Cru depends

upon the consistent financial

support of concerned

individuals and churches.

These contributions are used

to fund the ministries of our

staff members.

Cru

We must find a team of

partners who will give $100

monthly or some other amount

to support our ministry.

As soon as this team is

complete, we can turn our full

attention to reaching people for

Christ.

Cru

OUR

COMMITMENT
