I (Colin) am the Eastern Kansas Team Leader, and Meredith is Senior Staff on the team. We have been at the University of Kansas since the fall of 2013. We also serve at Haskell Indian Nations University. Both schools have unique cultures, so our strategies differ at each school, but our goal is the same. Our vision is to empower students with the truth of the gospel, help them grow in their relationship with God, and send them out to be multiplying disciples wherever they go, whether that is as an engineer, a businessperson, or a full-time Christian worker. We want them to be equipped and ready to serve in their church, their neighborhood, and their local community. 

We have three kids. Selah, who is nine; Emerson, who is six; and Bella, who is three years old. We can't believe how fast the years seem to be going by! We are so thankful to God for entrusting our kids to us to care for and help them grow to know Him. 

Would you consider joining us in God's mission through prayer or financial giving as we labor to reach the young people in Eastern Kansas? Consistent monthly or annual gifts allow us to focus our attention on campus.

If we haven't talked to you personally, we would be honored to have you on our team of partners.  Please call/text/email us so that we can get to know you better because you are worth it.

Thank you for joining us on this journey!

Have you ever considered giving in the most tax-smart way? 

Many generous partners like you are discovering how to maximize their kingdom impact—not just for Cru, but also for their local church and other ministries—without ever touching their checking or savings accounts. Here are three powerful ways to give smarter: 

• ​Stock Gifts – Avoid capital gains and give more.
• Donor Advised Fund – Streamline your giving with tax efficiency.
  
• IRA Giving (age 70½+) – Reduce taxable income while advancing the gospel.

Cru Foundation is a ministry of Cru designed to serve you with strategic, tax-smart giving solutions at no cost to you. Our mission is to help ensure more of your generosity fuels the Great Commission, not taxes.
