The Kelloggs

Happy early fall! We are settling in to our new (temporary) home, finding temporary locations for our stuff, and helping Andy’s dad to sift through mom’s things. Andy is using mom’s desk in the office, and his dad likes to work in there with him. Andy still has a daily meeting with his whole Orlando… Continue reading A New Desk, The Same Mission

Your Faithfulness is the Reason It is amazing (and exciting) to say that, as of this summer, Andy and I have now been on the staff of Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) for 40 years!!! We both got involved in the ministry of Cru while in college (Andy at Virginia Tech, me at University of… Continue reading The Next Chapter, but Still With Cru…

Diane Kellogg 2/14/36 — 4/26/24 It is with a tender mix of sorrow and heaven-facing joy that we tell you about the homegoing of Diane, Andy’s mom. It’s sad to think about our lives without her wisdom, laughter, and faithful prayers. It is glorious to think of her in heaven, whole in body and spirit,… Continue reading Changes…

Andy and I were driving to Costco and on the side of the road was a flashing sign which read, “Ecpect Delays!!” You know, ecpectations do not always work out, like that sign! In late January, I was over the moon to be working at Cru’s Winter Conference for Florida college students. I was asked… Continue reading Expectations….

Though the Christmas season is just behind us, I am still excited about the truth that God has created a way for us to be in a relationship with Him. He sent His Son!! What Joy!! What Hope!! Our family was unable to be all together until Christmas week. We do so enjoy being together!… Continue reading Joy To the world, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her King!

My father, Jeff Belcher, and his wife lived in Maine. They loved to garden and every year, like other Mainers, they would have a huge harvest of zucchinis. HUGE!! It’s not unusual to see “free for the taking” zucchini in baskets in the office. One person placed them on the windshields of unsuspecting people around… Continue reading Like Zucchinis in New England in the Late Summer

How are we more busy in the summer? Hello friends, family and ministry partners! Andy and I hope that your summer has been one of rest and relaxation. S’mores on open fires. Swimming. Basking in air conditioning. We hope your walk with God has also been refreshing. Eye-opening. Comforting. After our last letter about Boston… Continue reading A Busy Summer

We haven’t written in a few months. We don’t normally like to go this long between letters, but I (Catherine) have been way more busy lately. I’m excited to share with you below! BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS In April, my team met in Boston. We went there to: be with one another because we live all across… Continue reading Where Have We Been?

Recently, I (Catherine) read about students from my alma mater, University of Connecticut. We usually talk about the Mighty Huskies in February and March, due to basketball. This time it is about the Cru movement on campus, and a trip they took to Cuba: Imagine [being a Cuban farmer and] moving to Havana from the… Continue reading Proud of My Huskies

I love a new year. I adore new calendars. I love the empty pages where I can put in birthdays and anniversaries and special holidays like National Handwriting Day and National Popcorn Day. A new year brings the hope of change, newness, starting clean. This year has already had some small bumps that have removed… Continue reading A Bright, Shiny New Year
