Those wrestling with poverty don't simply lack resources. They need options that offer hope and transformation.

That's where Cru Inner City comes in. That's where the church comes in. That's where YOU come in. TOGETHER we have been creating options for those struggling with poverty that meet real needs and connect people to Jesus Christ for 46 years.

We're excited to share how God has worked over the last year. Our Creating Options Together vision dinner features inspiring, changed-life stories from our church partnerships and from our Agape Center.

You can register to attend on Friday, May 2, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at the Drury Lane Theater in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. Click here to register.

Cru Inner City's mission is to serve and mobilize the church to live out God's heart for the poor, so all can grow in Christ to build spiritual movements everywhere. Cru is Christ-centered, compassion-driven, and church-based. As we look to the future, we're trusting God with these 3-year goals:

• 75,000 gospel engagements
• 3,000 whole-person discipleship relationships
• 4,000 Christ-followers trained and mobilized for ministry with people in poverty
• 10 new staff to increase ministry impact

In order to accomplish these faith-stretching goals, our Vision Dinner goal is to raise $300,000 in gifts and pledges of our planned annual budget of $1.8 million.

Please consider giving a generous gift of $2,400, or some other amount. Or, consider giving your best monthly gift. Your giving will certainly make an eternal impact!

Thanks for your standing with us through your financial and prayer support! We truly could not do this ministry without you! Thank you so much.
