The Gospel CrossesEven the Most Steadfast

School Rivalries!The rivalry between the University of Arizona and Arizona State University is pretty legendary, strong enough that when the Epic at UA student leaders came to me (Chris) and said they wanted to go to ASU for spring break, I might have laughed at them. But their idea was strong. For years, ASU students had been driving down to Tucson to come to our Epic at UA meetings on Tuesday nights. A Chinese pastor in Phoenix was so eager to reach college students that he too would drive to Tucson to

speak at our meetings. As U of A students began to plan out what they would do over spring break, some suggested that we go to a campus with a big Epic movement to get training and experience sharing the gospel. It was a great idea, but when someone suggested that we instead take the week to help launch a new Epic ministry at ASU, it was clear that we should set aside the rivalry and reach out to those Sundevils. Thankfully their spring break was a different week than ours, so it was the

perfect opportunity to spend some time at ASU. In our time on campus, we shared the gospel a lot and talked to tons of ASU students about their ethnic identity. We found more than 30 students who said they would like to be part of launching an Epic movement that seeks to saturate the campus with the gospel using the Asian American culture! In the fall, the Cru staff at ASU will partner with a Chinese church and a Korean church to launch that ministry with all those interested students. In addition to all the work God did at ASU that week, He also worked mightily in UA students’ hearts and gave them a greater desire to see his name made known at the U of A.
