Be Prepared To Give an Answer

For 2-3 weeks in January many Cru staff descended upon Daytona Beach, Florida to study theology, church history, Bible study, and many other foundational elements of living out our mission to bring others into relationship with the Father through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Cru puts a heavy emphasis on being prepared for ministry and their Institute of Biblical Studies (IBS) does this well. It was a really great time for lots of reasons, but especially powerful as we were all in community, living and learning in one place.

The classes were amazing and well taught, but it was also great to engage with other Cru missionaries involved in Gospel work around the globe. There were many people who have done or are going to do work in remote parts of the world. I am encouraged by the excitement of their involvement in God's plan. He placed a unique passion on their hearts just as He has done for you and me.
