FCC Global Mission Prayer Update
Mission Focus Moment: Grace Aasness
Grace serves as a campus missionary with Cru in the Twin Cities, primarily at the University of Minnesota. College is a dark place- 70% of students who come from a faith-based home walk away from their faith in college. These students are spiritually hungry and are ready to hear the Good News. Grace is passionate about sharing the gospel, discipling students, and equipping them to become lifelong, Christ-centered future leaders of our world. Additionally, Grace devotes much of her time to Epic, Cru’s ministry that reaches Asian students and helps them grow in faith and community. She has witnessed God transform lives as students place their trust in Christ and step into discipleship, becoming vessels for the Gospel in their classrooms and careers. Grace also helps lead mission opportunities that invite students to live out the Great Commission both locally and globally.
How can you pray for Grace and CRU?
- Pray for the spiritual conversations that students have with their peers on campus- for seeds to be planted, that students would have the courage to share the truth and life of the Gospel, and that students walking in darkness would have softened hearts.
- Pray for our students being sent on our overseas mission trips to Thailand and France this summer, that they would lean into the Holy Spirit for strength, and for the Gospel to go forth and be received in these countries.
- Please join me in prayer for God’s provision in this season of building my prayer and financial support team and getting to 100% by the end of the summer to be able to return to campus in August.
