DOUBLE Impact to reach freshmen in the first 30 days — Freshmen First Matching Challenge: NOW $400,000!

#2287428 - Reaching Freshmen

The goal for our Freshmen First campaign:

Reach every incoming college
freshman with the gospel!

Our years of outreach confirm: in campus ministry, the first month at school is critical for reaching freshmen — 

These 30 days are when they decide the direction of their college career ... Will they turn to the Lord or potentially be led astray?

This is why we want to give every incoming freshman the opportunity to connect with Jesus — and get plugged into a Cru community — before that first month ends!

Many universities and colleges are continuing to open at full or partial capacity — we need to be there with the life-changing message for Christ. In areas where the pandemic has made some of our traditional strategies more difficult, we are pivoting and adjusting as needed to ensure that we are reaching freshmen with the gospel.  

Our Freshmen First Matching Challenge has been increased to $400,000! It will double the impact of your gift, up to the new $400,000 total! Please prayerfully consider a significant gift for Freshmen First.
