Amid Australia's vibrant landscapes and iconic wildlife, two remarkable individuals are making a significant impact through their heartfelt dedication and unwavering faith. Kris and Vanessa Vanderbusch, our very own missionaries from Martin's Lutheran Church, have taken their passion for evangelism across the globe to serve with CRU, an evangelical outreach ministry.
Picture a land where kangaroos hop freely, the sun kisses the outback, and the Great Barrier Reef dazzles with its underwater wonders. Amidst this picturesque setting, Kris and Vanessa are on a mission to spread the message of God's love and grace.
CRU, also known as Campus Crusade for Christ, is a global ministry that focuses on evangelism and discipleship. Its mission is to fulfill the Great Commission by winning people to faith in Jesus Christ, building them in their faith, and sending them out to win and build others. In Australia, CRU's outreach extends to universities, high schools, and communities, creating spaces where the gospel can be shared and lives transformed.
Kris and Vanessa have become an integral part of this mission. Their work involves engaging with students on campuses, leading Bible studies, organizing outreach events, and providing mentorship to young believers. Their days are filled with meaningful conversations, heartfelt prayers, and moments of witnessing the profound impact of God's word on people's lives.
One of the most inspiring aspects of their ministry is the way they connect with the youth.
The Vanderbuschs' journey is not without its challenges, but their faith and determination keep them moving forward. The support and prayers from our church community play a crucial role in sustaining their mission. Every message of encouragement, every care package sent, and every prayer whispered uplifts their spirits and strengthens their resolve.
As they continue to serve in Australia, Kris and Vanessa Vanderbusch and family embody the spirit of CRU's mission, bringing the light of the gospel to those who need it most. Their story is a testament to the power of faith, love, and dedication. Through their work, they are not only spreading the message of God's love but also building a legacy of compassion and service that will resonate for generations to come.
So, here's to Kris and Vanessa, our missionaries to Australia—may their journey be filled with countless blessings, and may their efforts continue to make a profound impact in the land down under.
