There is tremendous competition for the minds and hearts of athletes. Whether they are college athletes or professional athletes, they have an incredible influence in the world today.

ATHLETES TODAY FACE MANY CHALLENGES

“Why do I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there is something greater out there for me? I think, God, there has got to be more than this. I wish I knew. I wish I knew.”

- TOM BRADY, NFL PLAYER

Cru has no central funds for paying salaries and ministry expenses. Like many other mission organizations, Cru

depends upon the consistent financial support of concerned individuals and churches. These contributions are used to

fund the ministries of our staff members.

We invite others to partner with us to reach people for

Christ.

As soon as this team is complete, I can report to my assignment.

MY COMMITMENT TO MY PARTNERS» To work diligently to touch the lives of people for Jesus Christ.

» To regularly let you know how God is blessing the ministry.

» To be financially faithful with the funds given for my ministry.

» To share prayer concerns with one another.
