Welcome to our new Cultivate magazine! Cultivate replaces CRUView. Instead of a broad overview of CRU’s activities, Cultivate invites you into a deeper picture of CRU’s activities as we seek to share God’s love in Christ with a new generation.

Meet the new Summit trainees!

This year we are so thankful to have 23 incredible Summit trainees joining our team! From Sydney to Canberra to Perth, and with two internationals, this group has come from all over the country (and world!) to share the gospel with young people on camps.

The Big Picture

I recently read a fascinating book: Making Numbers Count. The two authors highlight the problems we have in comprehending large numbers. Take a billion for example. We know the word, and know the concept, but we just can’t readily grasp its size.

What if you found a community where you could grow in your faith and share Jesus with young people, all while getting paid? Harry Grant found his community when he joined Summit, CRU’s camps-based ministry training program, in early 2022.

Lachlan and Ash Bunn have attended CRU Holiday Camps over many years and in various ways. Ash tagged along with her parents as a child, they both attended as campers in high school, and served as leaders, camp mechanics and directors. In fact, it was at Dirt Action, a dirt bike camp for high schoolers, where they first met!

These winter holidays marked the 10th year of CRU Blast, CRU’s longest running Day Camp. The camp takes place annually in July at Richard Johnson Anglican School and Oakhurst Anglican Church. Each year, a team of around 40 leaders run activities and Christian Discovery sessions for 80-100 campers in Kindergarten to Year 6.
