College life pulls students in every direction—academics, sports, jobs, relationships, and the search for acceptance. I know that pull well. Though I grew up in church, my years at the University of Connecticut were spent chasing meaning in all the wrong places.

But God met me there. I sought the truth away from home, and as I asked questions, God met me and introduced me to true community in the form of a group called Cru.

Cru exists to help people know Jesus, grow in their faith, and go to the world. One of its unique ministries, Lifelines, lives out that mission through outdoor adventure—helping students encounter God through shared experiences like rock climbing, hiking, and rafting. We don't do it just for adventure's sake, we do it because we see God teaching His people in a similar way; through shared experience.

Now based in Portland, ME, I have the privilege of helping lead our Lifelines Northeast / Cru Southern Maine team as we reach college students across New England and on local campuses here in Southern Maine.

Would you partner with me as I step out in faith to reach, build, and send students for Christ through Cru Southern Maine and Lifelines Northeast?
