“Jesus Christ is life and nothing else is” is a phrase we heard when we first joined Cru in 2007 and it still sparks our passion for lost students today. 

While serving at campuses in Chicago, Michigan, Pittsburgh, and the Middle East, we have always had a passion to see the gospel taken to the far reaches of the world. Acts 1:8 says, “and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Our family has had the privilege of being God’s witnesses in all of those spheres - our neighborhood, surrounding region, and to towns we’d never heard of before! Currently Alicia serves with Cru International Missions working to send Americans overseas to Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Whether it’s a new International Intern just beginning or a seasoned International Staff who has lived abroad on the field for years, I provide development, equipping, and care. 

Thank you for your prayers and financial investment in reaching college students for Christ! Not a day goes by that we aren't aware of the vital role our partners play in this ministry.

Love in Jesus,

Alicia
