Croccefficio, V: There are three words that come to mind that define my testimony: Calamity, Theosis, & Metanoia.

Growing up an atheist since childhood and then was Taoist for a couple years with a family that isn’t religious, I never really understood the point of religion. The concept of God to me was nothing but a man-made idea, put into many different books throughout history. It was only until my senior year of high school that God’s Calamity changed everything I thought about faith.

It was New Years Eve (literally), and I had been going to my school’s Bible club for a few weeks prior. I was doing research on Christianity because I was leaning towards it as the truth, and I ended up admitting to myself that God is real. I began reading scripture slowly, not fully understanding or feeling Christ’s presence until that summer. I specifically got to Psalm 103, when I felt God’s presence and finally was beginning to understand the Theosis of Faith: Surrender and repentance.

Flash forward to this year’s spring break, God gave me the opportunity to go on a mission trip with Cru and my goodness, how my life changed. It broke me down to the very depths of my soul. In just that week, I felt the closest to the LORD than I ever imagined I would. And God reassured me, that I am not alone and never will be, giving me connections that I pray will never dwindle away.

Whether I’m down in the dumps, frustrated beyond what I can handle, or even having the most serene day, I will forever say: Praise the LORD, my soul

Rosie, U: Seeing people from a different nation worship the same God as me was such a powerful and impactful gift to experience this past week in the DR. Our team focused on college evangelism and building relationships in hopes of a long-term partnership, and it was incredible to see how God was already at work in those spaces. I went into this trip not knowing what to expect after getting a last-minute spot, but God was so kind to me throughout it all and showed me that His plans are far greater than anything I could imagine. I witnessed the beauty of a surrendered life to His will, and I’m leaving with a deeper trust in Him, hoping to walk forward with greater boldness and faith wherever He leads next.

Savonna, M: My testimony is a confusing one, because while God has always been a part of my life, I felt like he wasn’t always a part of my family’s life. Even so, I always knew He was real, but I struggled to believe that He could truly help me through my life. I thought I had to be perfect in order to be loved by Him.

When I was younger, around ages 10 to 13, I was bullied for everything that made me who I am. Because of that, I found comfort in isolation and anger, and in that pain, I ended up hurting others too. During that time, I reached a point where I felt completely alone and began to think about leaving this world. I believed God wouldn’t save me from my depression or make people kinder to me, so I questioned what the point of staying was.

One day, I took a nap, and in that nap I had a dream that felt more real than anything I had ever experienced. I saw myself in surgery, and the Lord Himself was operating on me—on my brain, my heart, and every part of me that was broken. I was terrified, but when I woke up, I felt completely different. It was like I had been drowning, and He brought me back to life, breathing new life into me. At first, I thought God had only saved me in that one moment, but over time I realized He had been saving me every single day, even when I couldn’t see it.

Recently, I realized my testimony isn’t over. On my first mission trip to Daytona, Florida with Cru, I experienced a very similar dream again. But this time when he was performing surgery he stayed in the organs. I couldn’t see what he was doing, it was like he knew I didn’t need to know what he was shifting because I would feel the shift when it was time. And when I woke up, God showed me that I am in a new chapter—one where I am called to share my story and grow through Him. I’ve learned that I need people in this journey, even those who reject Him. Instead of responding with anger, God is teaching me to pray for those who hurt me and to never “pick up the rock.” Every day, he continues to lead, grow, and teach me. I am learning to trust Him not because I am perfect, but because He loves me exactly where I am—and my testimony is still being written. John 15:5

Sam, S: I grew up in a Christian household, but never really lived for Christ as a child. I often just went to church because “I had to” or because “I wanted to hang with my friends.”

I went into high-school, and decided the only thing that mattered was people’s perception of me. I wanted people to like me, I wanted people to think I was cool and someone to be around. I lived for being liked and well received, and got very stuck within that life.

It had gotten to a point where I was very distressed due to the mental taxing that it took on me to keep this lifestyle going. During my senior year and my churches annual church camp, I was having a conversation with one of my youth leaders and finally truly realized that I needed to start living for Jesus.

I gave my life to Christ fully that night, and since then, two years ago, I’ve been striving to get closer to him every day since. I’ve been associated with Cru since Fall of last year, and they’ve been incredibly uplifting and encouraging in my walk with the Lord.

John, J: I was born and raised in Beijing, China, and spent the first part of my life in a Christian orphanage right in the middle of the city. That’s where I first heard about Jesus, even if I didn’t fully understand it yet. In 2014, I was adopted into a God‑loving family in the U.S., and suddenly I went from being on my own to being the middle kid in a family of seven — the Jacksons. That alone showed me how intentional God is with where He places people. I gave my life to Jesus when I was 11, and I’ve been following Him ever since. It hasn’t been perfect there have been plenty of ups and downs but God has stayed faithful through all of it. He’s kept shaping me, even in the moments when I didn’t know what He was doing.Now I’m getting ready to graduate from Liberty University, which still feels crazy to say. And as I look ahead, I can see how God has been preparing me for what’s next. Lord willing, I’ll be joining Lynchburg Cru this fall after graduation. And recently, God has put Japan especially Tokyo on my heart in a really strong and unexpected way. It feels like a new calling He’s inviting me into, and I’m learning to trust Him with that.
So really, my story is just a story of God’s grace. He took me from Beijing to the U.S., from an orphanage to a family, and from not knowing my future to giving me a calling. And now I’m just trying to keep saying yes to Him, one step at a time.

Go Week Testimony: There are so many stories I could share about Chicago Summer Mission, but two stand out to me—one about the city and one about how God changed me personally.

During Chicago Summer Mission, we had a day set aside for time alone with the Lord. I chose to go to the Bean to spend my quiet time there. While I was sitting and spending time with God, someone unexpectedly approached me. What started as a simple conversation turned into a teaching moment, where I was able to teach her how to share her faith. Without going on summer mission, I don’t think I would have been confident or prepared to do that. That moment showed me how much people in the city need Christ and how open Chicago is to hearing the Gospel.

The second story is how much my faith grew this summer. I was able to share the Gospel not only with college students, but also with immigrants, international students, orphans, and widows. Chicago Summer Mission changed the way I see others—as God’s children—and it deepened my heart for evangelism.
