Primary Global Partners serving in Newport News, VA

Email Matt & Sarah

Serving with Cru, Campus Crusade for Christ International.

We are the Powells (Matt & Sarah) and we are on staff in Newport News, Virginia and work primarily at Christopher Newport University. We are passionate about seeing lost students find hope and freedom in the gospel. In particular, CNU is a launching pad for many future leaders, doctors, politicians and business people. One of our greatest desires is to see God shift the course of students' lives as they learn what it looks like to be Christ-centered laborers, whether in their profession or in their community. It is a great privilege to equip students to share the living hope we have found in Jesus with those who know him and those who don't. 

PRAY
  • Pray for our recent transition to a new city, new campus and new church family. 
  • Pray that we would be refreshed in the gospel daily and that we would continually walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. And as a result, we would see students come to know Jesus as their Lord and King!
  • Pray for us to be obedient and faithful to what God's leading us in for ministry on campus and in our community.
  • Pray for students at CNU as they return to school after a really hard year and a half. Pray for their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing and that God would provide a renewed sense of life and joy based on a deep relationship with Him.
