Thank You

CRU ® is so thankful for those who faithfully give their time, money and efforts to support our ministries. We want to say thank you to these three people, who have played a vital role in the work of CRU over many years:

KYLIE WILSON

Kylie came to faith during high school and has been working at St Catherine’s School for over ten years, where she is the Chaplain. She meets many students with little experience or understanding of the Christian faith.

Witnessing students gather at Inter-CRU events has been a highlight for Kylie, as the students gather with other Christians from nearby schools and encourage each other.

Kylie has served as a volunteer leader on the leadership training camp, CrossTrain, and found this particularly helpful for the St Cath’s student leaders.

The CRU Schools Ministry team are preparing an 8 week digital resource, changing the format of one of our current resources on 1 Peter. It will be online friendly for teachers and Chaplains, like Kylie, and help them run their CRU Groups digitally this term.

Thank you, Kylie, for your many years of faithful service to the Lord in partnership with CRU.

MATT CRETHAR

Matt attends Emmanuel Baptist Church in Glenwood and became a Christian when he was 17.

Matt has directed Beach Blitz for the past 2 years and shares, “We’ve seen dozens of campers come to Christ and recommit their lives through the faithful teaching from camp speakers and discussion groups.”

“Camp has given our leaders a deep passion to share the gospel of Jesus, and also been a practical and spiritual training ground for new leaders,” he continues.

Matt also shares, “I loved attending VOLT (CRU Camp volunteer leader training). It’s such helpful training for leaders and camp directors to share ideas.”

Thanks so much, Matt, for your faithful service as a volunteer camp director on CRU Holiday Camps.

ROSEMARY ABRAHAMS

Rosemary grew up in a Christian family, but it was going to a Billy Graham Crusade at the age of 11 which made her faith come alive.

Rosemary first became familiar with CRU when she was Deputy and Head of Senior School at Abbotsleigh. She attended CRU Educational Camps at Galston and shares, “I have seen the impact that the CRU Study Camps can have on students who are fearful of HSC exams. They leave with a calmness in knowing that everything is in the hands of the Lord.”

Rosemary also supports CRU by attending fundraising events and functions. In 2018, Rosemary was honoured to become the first female chair of The King’s School Council.

Thank you, Rosemary, for your faithful support of God’s work through CRU in the midst of your busy education roles.
