CENTRAL FLORIDA CRU . . . PLANTING SPIRITUAL MOVEMENTS TO REACH EVERY STUDENT & FACULTY IN CENTRAL FLORIDA
VISION
During Eric's freshman year of college, a Cru staff member named Jim shared with him how he could know God personally. Eric responded by placing his trust in Christ. Right away Jim began meeting with Eric regularly to help him learn the basics of the faith. Susan heard the Gospel her senior year at a meeting sponsored by Cru through her sorority. When a staff member came and shared Christ with her, she trusted in Christ and quickly got into a Bible study. Both Eric & Susan continued to grow in their faith, were trained to communicate their faith with others, and eventually joined the staff of Cru. Their own stories reflect the mission of Cru: building spiritual movements everywhere so that everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus.
