The Missions Moment this month focuses on Matthew DeLong and his family's work with international students. Matthew met his wife, Sherrene at Westminster Seminary in California, and they have been dedicated to serving the international community since their marriage in 2011. In 2014, Matthew started RUF International at Auburn University, and in 2018, he continued this mission at George Mason University. Alongside their son, Isaac, the DeLongs work tirelessly to support international students, helping them find community and spiritual guidance. Their work fosters cross-cultural understanding and builds a welcoming environment for students far from home. Let us pray for the DeLong family and their impactful ministry.
