‘Look how far we’ve come!’
La Ruta enjoys amazing first semester
The La Ruta campus ministry in Montevideo, Uruguay, wrapped up its first semester as a campus ministry recently and has lots of good news to share!
“We’ve grown from 17 students at our first English practice to more than 75 students who have participated in events during the semester,” said campus minister Carmie Cuda. “More than 80 percent (62) of those students have come back more than once to begin forming the community that we dream of.
“In addition, 22 of those students attend La Merienda, where we share stories of Jesus and converse about how we can connect with the themes of those stories as people from different backgrounds and beliefs,” added Carmie.
The team is filled with awe and gratitude for such a great kick-off to their ministry.
“Thanks to our partners for believing in our dream to share God’s love with Uruguayan college students,” said Carmie. “It’s an honor to be part of what God’s doing here in Montevideo, and exciting to think that we’re only just beginning!” |
