HELPING MAKE CHRIST KNOWN AMONG TWENTYSOMETHINGS IN INDIANAPOLIS

As university students, Chris at Wright State and Jodi at Western Michigan, we were gripped by the glory of God and the reality that apart from Jesus people are eternally lost.  Knowing that He alone forgives sin and changes lives, we decided to spend the best hours of our days introducing people to Christ and His gospel through the ministry of Cru.  

Separately as singles and together as a married couple, we have worked to mentor students and nurture transformational communities at schools like Northwestern, Indiana University, and Ball State and in places like the Middle East.  More recently we helped develop and lead the over 500 Cru Staff throughout Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois.  Combined we have invested nearly fifty years of our lives ministering to young people.  

In the summer of 2016 the Lord began to cultivate in Chris a desire to minister to those who recently graduated from college. In response to God's leading, Chris moved from Cru's Campus division to its City ministry.  He is helping pioneer Cru City's young adult efforts in Indianapolis by coming alongside twentysomethings, pointing them to Jesus, helping ground them in the Gospel, connecting them to solid, local churches, and unleashing them to be all that God has created them to be.  He is compelled by the vision of developing Christ-centered, twentysomething spiritual leaders for the sake of the Kingdom and the good of the city and its people.

Please consider partnering with us through your prayers and financial gifts.  We cannot do this alone.
