Cru Conference 2013

This year, 434 students flooded the streets of Portland for the annual Cru Conference.  This was a time for students to reconnect with the Lord, and take some serious steps of faith.  Students heard from Tim Muehlhoff (professor at Biola University), Dr. Gerry Breshears (professor of Systematic Theology at Western Seminary), Keith Bubalo (Global Missions Executive Director at Cru), and Taylor Turkington (Southwest Bible Church Student and Women’s Ministries).  Students were encouraged to share their stories online.  Here are several stories of life-change!

“Cru conference has been amazing.  Yesterday we went to the Rockwood neighborhood.  Which growing up here was something that I was a little nervous about.  At the last door I went to this lady opened her door and we started to tell her who we were and what we were doing.  She asked us what Rockwood was, so we explained it to her and showed her the map.  She got so excited to see what we were doing.  She works as a leader in a youth group in the area and wanted to reach out to the community.  We left her with a map.  Her passion let something in me, to show me that I need to go and share more.  It was awesome.”
