Loved celebrating Selection Sunday with Preston, the team, and over 200 members of the community.
Don’t forget to join our Bracket Challenge! Top Players win Prizes!
I haven’t figured out the details yet but I plan on gifting prizes to the top 3-10 winners!
This would be a great way to introduce your friends to the incredible things God is doing with college students. Feel free to forward this email to any basketball fan that you know.
Funny Story
Alice was throwing a fit. She did NOT want to go to the party… until she found out there would be cheerleaders.
Meet Rich and Becky…
Rich and Becky Duffield (pictured above) had an incredible impact on our lives! They discipled Kelly and me in college, they were our Team Leaders when we first joined Cru staff at MSU, and they continue to mentor us as we lead our family.
In 2018 they transitioned away from Cru’s general student ministry to focus on Cru’s athletic ministry, Athletes in Action.
Since then, God has given them incredible favor with our athletic department— specifically, the head coach (Preston Spradlin). Preston has platformed Rich as the “Character Coach” on his team focused on developing these boys to be men. Rich does this by creating leadership content, meeting with the team, and guiding individuals through life and spiritual things.

After extensive conversations with the MSU staff and coaches, Drew reached out to Rich about being baptized. Rich had the opportunity to share with this student how to walk with Jesus and, ultimately, baptized Drew at Johnson First Church of God.
