Dear Friends,
The opportunity to serve as RUF’s Coordinator is the privilege of a lifetime. My wife, Holly, and I are forever grateful for RUF and the thousands who have labored to make it such a vital ministry. The Lord used RUF at Vanderbilt to awaken in us a deep appreciation for the Gospel and its application to every corner of life.
RUF is blessed to have clarity of mission: reach students for Christ and equip them to serve. Time and again, we rejoice in stories of students coming to faith, discovering that grace really does change everything, and becoming part of transformation in the lives of others. I am honored to share details about how the Lord is using RUF in mighty ways throughout the pages of this report (linked in full below), and I hope it is an encouragement to you.
Further up, further in,
Andrew Rein, RUF Coordinator

Through the Bright Hope for Tomorrow Campaign, our goal is to reach more students with the Gospel by launching 50 new ministries—including at HBCUs, in high-cost areas, and in other countries—all while strengthening our current ministries.
Campaign goal: $26.8M
The Bright Hope Campaign ends December 31 and we are just $425,000 short of our goal. Will you join us?
Help us reach more students for Christ!
