Seeking to make the hope and freedom found in Jesus Christ accessible to every student!

My path to Cru is a somewhat unconventional one. I wasn't involved with Cru as a student, but instead was introduced to the ministry after moving to Florida and meeting my wife, Stacey, who is a high school teacher. She was also an active teacher sponsor of a Cru movement at her high school. 

I started volunteering with Cru and attended a conference where I saw some of my students respond to Christ for the first time. I decided then that I wanted to be a part of what God was doing in the lives of teens through Cru, and I joined the field staff team in Orlando in 2014. I currently provide leadership to the Middle + High School Ministry of Cru in Orlando, FL and spend time with the field team in the 17+ schools that we serve. 

If you would like to know more about my ministry or how you can be a part of reaching teens for Christ in Orlando and around the world, please feel free to email me at justin.yates@cru.org.
