Twice a year Cru staff gather together during the work day to pray corporately. This year was a new location for Mike and I as Cru Headquarters in Orlando is now home for us. Sitting amongst a sea of perhaps 500-1000 staff, I was overcome with God’s goodness. The fitting theme was “The Lord is Faithful” based on 1 John 1:9 and 2 Thessalonians 3:3
As we gathered in small groups, we were interceding for U.S. ministries, local teams and an overseas partnering area. Again, brought to my knees for our dependence on the Lord. God, is truly our strength, individually and corporately. There’s NO fruit or everlasting life without Him. Our Faithful God is the One who sustains us and bears fruit through us. Our hearts were filled with His passion, compassion and Kingdom imagination as we prayed for the mission.
