News from The BruCru at UofO
Rich & Monica Brubaker, Chi Alpha Directors (candidates) at University of Oregon
I have to admit that I have been feeling a little stagnant in the prayer life lately.
I kept thinking about not being able to go full time and minister to students like I want to, and how it made me feel like there was nothing to write about for my newsletters.
Then it happened.
I get an out of the blue call from a lady that was visiting a church I spoke at in the Spring. She said she had been praying and wanted to help support our ministry (yes!). Then she told me how she was praying.
She lost her son, a student at the U of O, to a drowning accident. She said that she was praying for God to return to her 100 times what she lost in students who would come to know Jesus. She said that she was believing it would be, in part, through our ministry.
WOW! I was convicted and just wanted to share that with you as it inspired me to pray with less selfishness.
Stay tuned for our next newsletter to hear what came from my prayer time next…
And thanX for all your prayers as we dream together!
