During May, followers of Jesus around the world plan to work together for a common goal. Go2020 is a joint effort of dozens of Christian churches and organizations, including Cru, to invite people to pray for those around them, show love to those they pray for, and  find ways to tell them about Jesus’ love.

Our team is working with others at Cru and beyond to help motivate those we have contact with to take those three steps.

First, a few months ago we began planning how to encourage the readers of Cru Storylines to participate. While there was information available from other sources, we asked Cru’s video team to produce a video that we trust will encourage people to take part. The video features Daryl Smith, Cru’s co-director for North America and Oceania.

Next, I worked with a team made up of people from several Cru departments to create a page on our main website, Cru.org. I wrote the words for the site and found Cru resources to help people take these three steps. We included the video, a Cru.org editor worked on it, and a designer put the items together and made sure the links worked.

Within two weeks, we went from having a concept to having the page ready to post. You can see it all at Cru.org/Go2020. If you want to learn more, you can see the main Go2020 page for the U.S. at Go2020usa.com, and for the world Go2020.world/home.

Our team continues to work on such projects to help disciple people around the world online, in partnership with a growing number of Cru departments and other organizations. 

Over the next few weeks, would you pray for Anne Marie as she takes on leadership over some parts of the International School Project’s communications work while a coworker is away from work to give birth. Also, please pray for our daughter, Bethany, as she starts a new job and moves back to Nashville. We’ll miss her, but we’re excited for her new opportunity.

We’re grateful for your prayers and partnership in our ministry.
