Hello, and welcome to our page. Stephanie and I are passionate about giving every college student an opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. We joined Cru full-time in August 2008 in order to live out this passion. Since then we have served in various locations with the campus ministry, beginning with an international internship in East Asia where we had a fruitful ministry of reaching students from atheist, Buddhist, and Muslim backgrounds.
In 2009 we returned to the U.S. and served at our Alma Mater, Ball State University, where Stephanie had various roles on the team and Corey directed the ministry. As the team leader, Corey managed more than 60 Cru staff and interns and together we raised up and sent 72 full-time Cru missionaries to 18 locations worldwide, plus scores of graduates who are living for Jesus in the workforce, serving in their churches, and raising godly families.
In August 2021 we moved to Zagreb, Croatia. Croatia is a small country of about 4 million people in the Balkans. With a complicated history, Croatia was part of Yugoslavia until declaring their independence in 1991. Most young Croats are cynical or apathetic towards Christianity and less than 1% are Evangelical Christians. We are part of the student ministry seeking to reach the 70,000 students at the University of Zagreb, Croatia's largest city. Additionally, Corey serves as the National Campus Director. We dream of a day when every Croatian student would hear the gospel and have an opportunity to say "yes" to Jesus.
By God's grace, your financial gift today will help make this dream a reality. Thank you so much for visiting our page and for partnering with us to bring the light of Jesus to the people of Croatia.
