Welcome All! 

I am in my fifth year on staff with Cru! What an amazing four years it has been. I have truly seen the goodness of God in the eyes of people around the world. He has been faithful to help grow our ministry here in Queens, NYC and we are praying that the next five years are some of the most fruitful of all time! 

This fall I am continuing as the Movement Leader at St. Johns University and will also be helping out at Queens College alongside my team. We have a growing movement and hope for more staff to join us as well. As we continue to partner with the Lord, I have a gap in my monthly support I'll be hoping to close over the course of this school year. I'm trusting the Lord to grow my Ministry Partner Team and raise $500 in monthly support by the end of the May! 

Would you be able to join me by joining my team of monthly partners at $50, $100, $200, or another amount significant to you? There is also an opportunity to give a special gift this month! 

I also have a prayer letter that comes out monthly with ministry updates, prayer requests, and student stories & photos! Please send me your email if you'd like to be included. 

 If you have questions or would like further information about how you can partner with me, please do not hesitate to email me at Mary.ropp@cru.org or call/text me at (843) 213-7873. 

Thank you for prayerfully considering to partner with me! 

Until the whole world hears,

Have you ever considered giving in a strategic, tax free way? 

Many generous partners like you are discovering how to maximize their kingdom impact—not just for Cru, but also for their local church and other ministries—without ever touching their checking or savings accounts. 

Here are three ways to give strategically:

Stock Gifts – Avoid capital gains and give more.

Donor Advised Fund – Streamline your giving with tax efficiency.

IRA Giving (age 70½+) – Reduce taxable income while advancing the gospel.

Cru Foundation is a ministry of Cru designed to serve you with strategic, tax-free giving solutions at no cost to you. Our mission is to help ensure more of your generosity fuels the Great Commission, not taxes. Click here to learn more and explore your options.
