Partnership is such a vital part of what we do. We wouldn't be able to engage in the ministry we do without individuals praying and giving towards the work. It is such a privilege to connect with partners and alumni as we trust God to transform lives from Purdue to the world.
We aim to send quarterly updates to partners and alumni that share stories of how God has been working in the lives of current students. We love connecting with you so that you can be praying for our campus.
Cru as an organization relies on the generosity of individuals: individuals who see beyond the current reality to realize the impact a financial gift can make in the life of a student. From seeing students come to faith in Jesus, make decisions to serve with us, take steps to share their faith with others, or exit college with a vision of living step in step with Jesus for the rest of their lives - our donors and our ministry gets to see real life impact.
Every school year our movement takes steps to equip our students and to reach the campus. This can range from investing in our student leaders through a leaders retreat, resources for them to train new students to share their faith, or even provide them the funds to share the gospel over a meal. We also invest funds into outreaches that happen throughout the year. These range from an ice cream social at BGR (freshmen orientation) to an Easter outreach at the end of the year.
God uses retreats, conferences and mission trips to make a huge impact on students’ lives. Every year we see God bring students into relationship with Him, students recommit to following Jesus, and students making decisions to grow in their walk with God at these events. Unfortunately, cost can often be a barrier for students to attend a retreat. We desire every student to be able to attend one of these events and use these funds to help make it financially accessible for everyone.
