Over 500 Greeks from fraternities and sororities at Stephen F. Austin gathered at a local venue to hear Country music artist Aaron Watson. Greekwide, Cru’s Greek ministry, brought Aaron in to perform a few acts and share with the students how the gospel of Jesus has impacted his life. Aaron shared about the sadness and grief he and his wife had experienced through the loss of one of their children. Then, he shared how his relationship with Jesus have given hope in that dark situation. Of the more than 500 students there, over 300 said they wanted to meet with someone from Greekwide to talk more about a relationship with God. Please pray for the Cru and Greekwide ministries at SFA as they follow up with these students.
Watson and his wife lost their newest daughter, Julia Grace, just shortly after her birth. And this man, who lives and breathes his craft, fell silent. “I thought the last thing I want to do is make music, to get up there and sing,” Watson says, his Texas accent strong and smooth as molasses. “So I said, ‘God, I don’t think I can do this. If music is what you need me to do, then I need some help. Because I can’t write a song to save my life.’”
