THE TEAM

JOHN HENDERSON

I have been on staff with Cru for 40+ years. My first 8 years were with Athletes in Action at The University of Texas. I then attended Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon where I earned a Master of Divinity degree. 

After graduation, my wife Mary and our family moved to New Zealand where we helped develop  the Cru ministry there. 

In 1997, we then moved to Budapest, Hungary where I focused on staff training and leader development as part of the Area Leadership Team for Eastern Europe & Russia. We have been serving in Europe ever since. 

Currently I give leadership to a program called “Caleb85: Biblical Foundations for Leaders”, formerly known as “Theological Foundations for Leadership” (TFL). My passion is to help encourage and equip the next generation of ministry leaders in this part of the world. 

My personal vision comes from Psalm 71:17-18. I love hiking, movies, bbq, and jumping off high things into water. 

LACI BACZYNSKI

I have been on staff with Cru for 30 years. I live in Budaörs, Hungary with my wife Eni and our three children. 

After graduating from university studying organizational leadership and management, I joined Cru. I served on the campus ministry team for 3 years, following that I led the operations team for 9. Later I led the SLM part of our ministry and since 2017 I have led the Hungarian Cru team. 

In 2017 I graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary with a masters in Christian Leadership. 

I love my running, biking, and especially enjoy grinding some fine selection coffee, make my espresso, sit with a good group of fellow Christ followers to discuss God, Bible, life and leadership around a table - it can't get much better than that. ☕️ To learn, to imagine, to share, to grow in holiness and in serving others.
