TCX: A short life- lived well.

There are some things in life we can't explain. We ask, why? We wonder, how can this be? We think, what's the purpose in this?

The death of a young person, a life cut short, nears the top of a list of things that cause me to ask why. This past August, Sean, a student leader involved in Cru at UW-La Crosse, was killed in a car accident.

Sean had just returned home from a summer in North Myrtle Beach on a missions project with Cru. There were 99 other college students with him in NMB. On our US projects, Cru staff leave halfway through the summer and hand over the project to student leaders. Sean was one of the students who took over leadership of the project.

I never met Sean, but the fact that he was put in charge of 99 other college students living missionally on the beach, when they all could have been off doing other things, speaks highly of his character.

Sean's dad Steve spoke the final night of TCX, and shared how he had prayed that his son would become a leader among men, even before Sean began walking with Christ. Even though his life was cut short, Sean had an eternal impact on hundreds of lives in La Crosse and North Myrtle Beach.
