Josh and Kathryn have been on staff with Cru since January 2017. They developed a heart for college ministry during their undergraduate years at Penn State, and have loved being back at their alma mater to help students grow in their faith like they did as students. Since joining staff, their family has grown to  include three children: Levi, Caleb, and Grace. Parenting has been a joy-filled adventure together, and it's been so fun getting to do ministry now as a family.

Our mission at Penn State is to help students come to know Jesus, grow in their faith, and then be sent to tell others about the good news of the gospel in the community God calls them to after graduation.

Thank you to those who are partnering with us! This is only possible with your prayers and financial support. 

Have you ever considered giving in a strategic, tax-free 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 ways to give strategically:

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-free giving solutions at no cost to you. Our mission is to help ensure more of your generosity fuels the Great Commission, not taxes. Click here to learn more and explore your options.

If you are not a part of our ministry team, we would love to have you join and experience what God is doing at Penn State. Contact us if you would like to be updated with a monthly newsletter and hear about what the Lord is doing in the lives of college students at Penn State.

Until all have heard,
Josh & Kathryn
