DEAR FRIENDS OF RUF
It is hard to believe our second year on campus at Duke is in the books!
Snapshots of Spring
If you were to have spent a day at Duke this Spring you would have witnessed a wide range of ministry activities happening through RUF. You may have seen Crawford reading the gospel of John with a Turkish student curious about the Christian faith. You may have seen our students gathering into bible studies or packaging meals for the less fortunate. You may have seen Rachel teaching young women the Scriptures or hosting a brunch in our home. You may have seen small group leader training (an answer to our prayer for leadership development).
More Joy in Heaven
Top Middle: RUF students dressed in Duke gear prior to watching the Men's Basketball Championship Game Bottom Left: Food Packing Service Project, Bottom Right: Worship Team at Large Group
These rich stories speak of the ineffable grace and glory of God. These are your stories! You are directly participating in the advancement of God’s Kingdom through your prayer and financial support of our ministry. THANK YOU for partnering with Duke RUF. Yours in Christ, Crawford & Rachel Stevener Rev. and Mrs. Crawford Stevener | [email protected] 1107 Berkeley St. | Durham, NC 27705 214.604.8645 | www.ruf.org/duke
Perhaps best of all, you may have joined in song with the angels in heaven rejoicing over God calling a student out of darkness into His glorious light. What a privilege it was for Crawford to baptize a student into Christ’s church who recently became a Christian through RUF. “There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance” (Luke 15:7).
"The kingdom...is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had..."
The Duke RUF ministry budget resets each summer for the next year, and we greatly need your financial support. Our 2015-2016 budget is increasing $6,000 to accommodate growth in student and staff expenses (more students and a new female staff member!)
