We are so pleased that you were able to find us on here!  We are serving God in the greater La Crosse Area of WI and SE Minnesota.  Our family has planted itself here in the Coulee Region, after serving overseas in East Asia, and 8 years in Duluth, MN; we are so thankful to call this community our home.  We have loved plugging into this community, our local church, and find that people here are warm, welcoming, and love the outdoors!

We are trusting God to reach the campuses in our scope.  Some 40,000+ students, professors, and faculty are at these Universities, Technical Schools, and Community Colleges. It is our desire to see "Movements Everywhere, on these campuses, so that every student knows someone who truly follows Jesus."  Wouldn't it be so cool if this were true on each of these campuses! That is what we are trusting God for.

Right now, we have the privilege of serving alongside our Cru staff team and 80+ student leaders at UW- La Crosse, Viterbo, Western Tech, and in Rochester.  We partner with a local church in Winona, to also reach students there too!  We praise God for their changed lives and their desire to impact others on their campuses.  It is exciting to work on the college campus where leaders, world-changers, and future influencers are formed and shaped!  What an honor it is to intersect their lives during formative years on campus.  As we step out in faith and lock arms together we hope and pray towards this vision, "La Crosse Area Cru crosses campuses, cultures, state lines, and oceans to make disciples who make disciples."

Would you join us as we trust God for this vision by investing your resources in some way?

We would love for you to join us by giving financially and prayerfully. It is essential for us to have a team of faithful partners to send us into the mission field. You are so valuable to our ministry!

Although not all will have the opportunity to give of their time, some of you do. We would love to co-labor alongside you as we trust God to raise up spiritual leaders to lead movements on each of the campuses in the greater La Crosse Area.  Please reach out if you desire to get some face to face time on campus, it would be fun to have you join us.

Let us know how you want to invest into God's kingdom.


Blessings,

Luke & Becca Rickert
