Has it really been over 40 years with Cru?  From serving on college campuses in the US to helping build the ministry in Eastern Europe followed by wonderful years in Orlando at the global headquarters working with global teams in Operations, Leadership Development, and finally, with FLAG we are now in a different season! 

Pat transitioned to Emeritus status in 2020. He volunteers with Good News Global teaching a bible study and mentoring men in the Orange County Jail. His Emeritus status enables him to be reimbursed for ministry expenses. 

Karen is still a full-time staff member serving with the Orlando Neighbors team within CruCity. In this capacity, she has been approved to pursue her longing to focus on helping incarcerated women. Specifically, she meets with women who seek help in overcoming addiction, trauma, and often human trafficking. She helps them get to places of recovery once they are released, continuing to mentor them as often as possible.

 While this journey has never been about taking the easy road, it has always been and continues to be an awesome privilege - no doubt about that!  One of the greatest privileges is having a team with us, doing this together. We love the words of William Carey, who said to his ministry partners in the 1700s, "I will go down if you hold the rope."  We are eternally grateful for all the many hands who hold our rope so that we may faithfully follow the One who urges each step of faith.
