EVERY HOME A GODLY HOME.
FamilyLife exists to help families grow together and impact their corner of the world.
OUR HISTORY AND CALLING
When we left our corporate jobs to join staff with Cru, it was because we could not escape the burden God had given us to reach lost people with the gospel. From the beginning we have said we will go wherever there is a need. From 2007-2021 we served as full-time campus missionaries. From working with students directly on the University of Arizona, to leading Winter Conferences and summer missions across the United States, to helping send students & staff globally, and finally to leading Church Partnerships for Cru - Campus.
It has been a privilege to send Christ-centered disciples into the workforce, neighborhoods, and churches equipped to share Jesus with others.
As of 2022 we are full time missionaries with FamilyLife. We believe families are the greatest untapped resource on earth to fulfill the Great Commission. Every culture craves healthy family relationships. We will help families grow from isolation to impact - believing that every home that follows Jesus can make a difference in another home. Chris is the Chief of Staff for FamilyLife Local and works with our teams across the United States. Vanessa is a Field Leader, working with women to share the good news of Jesus and impact families in our corner of the world.
BREAST CANCER JOURNEY
On February 27, 2023 Vanessa was diagnosed with breast cancer. On May 5, 2023 she had a double mastectomy, and on October 13, 2023 she had her first reconstructive surgery. We praise God that she is considered Cured of Cancer! Her next surgery is March 25, and she will have her last surgery later in the year. Her cancer prevention includes a monthly injections and a daily pill she will take for 5-10 years to aim at preventing this invasive cancer from returning. We are anticipating needing about $15,000 to cover these additional medical costs in 2024.
JOINING OUR TEAM
MISSIONARY FUNDING
Cru has no central funds to pay the salaries, benefits and ministry expenses of its missionaries. We seek a team of partners that will regularly pray for us and financially support our ministry so we can stay engaged in the gospel work to which God has called us.
HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT US
Ongoing financial partners provide the foundation necessary to stay in the field.
You can do this through:
-A monthly gift of $100-$500 (or some other amount)
-An annual gift of $1,000-$5,000 (or some other amount)
We rely on prayer partners to intercede for us and our ministry. We consider it a privilege to pray for our partners as well. Will you commit to faithfully praying for our family as we engage in missions?
God Bless,
Chris & Vanessa Warren
