How Does a Spiritual Movement Begin?
The Cru® Coaching Center empowers faithful people to lead campus ministries across the country.

Most of us have family members who don’t know Christ, even though we’ve spent years praying for them. Are you losing hope that they will ever turn to Jesus? Carol Nordman’s father, a scientist, rejected Christianity in favor of “spiritual evolution.” But in answer to years of his grandmother’s prayers, something happened when he was 86. Watch Carol’s story to learn more.
As Carol says, “It is never, ever too late. As long as there is breath, there is hope.” Who in your life does not know Jesus? Make a list of those in your family or circle of friends who do not have a relationship with God. We’ve compiled Scripture verses you can use to pray for them every day.
In answer to decades of Carol’s prayers, and of her great-grandmother’s, God brought Carol’s father to Christ. What might He do through your faithful persistence in prayer?
