Giving to God through Cru

• These contributions areused to fund the ministriesof our staff members.

We Must Find a Team of Partners

• Currently we need 12 new partners who can give $100 monthly or some other amount to support our ministry.

• As soon as this team is complete, we can turn our full attention back to sending laborers who will help reach the world for Christ.
