Tragedy at Virginia TechStudents and staff members respond in prayer
Updated: 18.Apr.2007
The world continues to watch with horror regarding Monday's shootings at Virginia Tech.On campus, there is a large Campus Crusade for Christ group, nicknamed Cru. Ten staff members serve a group of more than 500 involved students.At least 3 of the shooter's fatal victims were students involved with Cru at Virginia Tech.
Responding in Prayer
"We had a prayer meeting Monday night for our students and the students of some other organizations," says Dave Broadwell, who has worked with Cru at Virginia Tech since 1991. "Most students are shocked and numb at this point, not sure what to think and feel. I feel the same way."The day after the shootings, the staff members agreed to spend the day in the Cru office to pray with students and talk with them.At noon on Wednesday, the team planned to pray with other Christian groups on the drillfield--a very central place on campus, says Broadwell.How You Can PrayThe staff team invites the watching world to join with them in prayer, depending on God."Please pray that amidst it all that the Lord would be glorified, families would be comforted and students would grieve appropriately," says Broadwell. "I have a feeling no one is going to know how to move on from here."
