CRU: Chris & Alyssa Ghubril
It's been a busy but exciting semester for us, our students, and our ministry with Cru in southern Arizona and on the west coast! In January, Chris spent 10 days in Spain, equipping and encouraging Cru missionaries serving in the middle east. He learned that several teams there have been using "I Am From" cards, the evangelism and discipleship tool that he created a few years ago. Some of the missionaries shared that the tool opened the door for spiritual conversations in a very spiritually dark place. Chris will be traveling a few more times this spring, visiting teams on the west coast, meeting and caring for new missionaries at Orientation Weekend, and possibly headed overseas again to debrief with a team that is returning to the US soon. He is still figuring out all his new responsibilities in his new role, but he's really enjoying it!
This year, Alyssa has been coaching and discipling two really incredible UArizona students. Brianna and Marcela lead our Destino movement and are capable, wise, and servant-hearted leaders. Both of them are graduating this spring, so much of Alyssa's discipleship has focused on how they can continue to walk with Jesus after college and how He will use them in their future careers. Marcela will be in grad school for accounting, and Brianna has applied to serve with Destino in the Middle East! It has been a delight to get a window into how God is working in their lives.
On Saturday, April 9 at 10am, we will be hosting a brunch here at Northwest Bible Church to share more about what God is doing through Cru in southern Arizona. We'll hear from students, share some of the tools we use to engage in spiritual conversations, and share how you can partner with us. We hope it will be an encouraging time for all who join us. You're invited! If you'd like to join us, please rsvp by emailing Alyssa at alyssa.ghubril@cru.org
