An update from Brown University and our Missional Team Leader, Jarrod Lynn:
The Lynn Legacy: "Tyler, a junior on the football team, shared a word at our weekly meeting about reaching out to his teammates by simply listening to them. His encouragement was for students to ask questions and learn about their teammates. And, if there's opportunity, share about God working in their life. What made this so great was not only the advice and perspective he shared, but also the fact that Tyler was the recipient of other teammates diving into his life and, as a result, Tyler (raised agnostic/atheist) learned about the Good News and has been walking and growing with God for the past 2 years.
Sweet."

Cross 09 - Thanks for praying!
Thank you for praying for Cross 09 this week. It has been a great week of crossing cultures, trusting God to meet people that will partner with us in launching movements. The stories are trickling in from around the region about what God has been doing -- the lives that have been changed by Him, and the movements and ministries being launched.
On Tuesday I spent the day at Northeastern University in downtown Boston with a group of ministry leaders from the city. Our goal was to meet students or faculty that had a desire to reach the African-American community on campus. As we seek to reach every student on this campus, our ministry leaders working each day at Northeastern have seen the need to launch an Impact movement, a ministry to the African-American community on campus.
We spent the afternoon meeting people with little success in surfacing a "person of peace," an insider on campus that would launch this ministry with us. As my friend Mike was walking out of the African-American center on campus a man approached him and asked what he was needing.
To make a long story short, Mr. Mason is a pastor in the city, as well as an adjunct lecturer on campus. Mr. Mason has had a full history working with Campus Crusade for Christ -- launching other Impact Movements along the East Coast and has had involvement with Athletes in Action (AIA). When Mike inquired about Mr. Mason's perception of the need on campus, he confirmed the great need and assured us that he would do whatever it took to launch this ministry. Mr. Mason has well respected credentials at the university and understands the climate of the African-American community on campus. He offered excellent meeting space for our first gathering (a difficulty when trying to launch a ministry) and whatever else he could do. He was the PERFECT man to meet to begin this work. I can't imagine a more aligned "insider" on campus. What a wonderful reminder of God's sovereignty.
Thank you for praying. I will share more stories in our next newsletter.
