Cru Millions of people around the world have never heard a clear presentation of the gospel message. Almost half of the world — 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day, resulting in extreme poverty. THE NEED

“I live alone and do not have the use of my legs. My wheelchair broke and to get around I must pull myself along the ground.” ―PRESLEY, ZAMBIA “I am nine months pregnant, my husband left me, and I live in a refugee camp. There is no doctor or hospital. I suppose I will have my baby in my tent” ― FATIXYA, HORN OF AFRICA “I fled my country to escape war. I along with my family live in an abandoned store front, but we aren’t able to afford rent so we may be evicted and without a home once again.” ― FARAH, MIDDLE EAST PEOPLE TODAY FACE MANY CHALLENGES “The only job our community provides is making fireworks. One day I sat inside my hut working and an explosion happened. I was thrown outside and my body was burned. But we don’t have any other choice, I must continue working. ― MARTA, GUATEMALA Cru

THE OPPORTUNITY In the midst of such incredible need, Christ’s followers are called to serve the least of these. Through the faithful work of national missionaries in over 193 countries, the compassionate aid ministry of Cru is resourcing the Church to meet physical needs and to share the hope of Jesus Christ. Cru

OUR MISSION As the humanitarian arm of Cru, Global Aid Network ® (GAiN ® ) serves to show the love of God in word and deed to hurting and needy people around the world through relief and development projects. Cru

WHO WE ARE The heartbeat of GAiN is God’s glory. GAiN is the expression of believers carrying out the Great Commandment hand-in-hand with the Great Commission. Cru

MEETING NEEDS Through GAiN programs people in need receive aid such as: » Nutritional Food » Vegetable Seeds » Medical Supplies » Water Filters » School Supplies Cru

CREATING LIFE-CHANGE COMMUNITY Through the delivery of humanitarian projects, we gain opportunities to have local staff share about Jesus Christ. Tools like the JESUS Film, Bibles, and Josh McDowell books can accompany the aid to increase its effectiveness. Cru

CHANGING LIVES “You gave me dried fruit and soup along with a wheelchair. You shared Christ with me and now I am a believer. —PRESLEY, ZAMBIA When asked why she was smiling, Fatixya responded, “Because you came to hear my story. You noticed me.” —FATIXYA, HORN OF AFRICA “Before today I knew Christians were good people, that they had good hearts. But after spending time with you today I know there is something different. You treat me like I matter.” —FARAH, MIDDLE EAST “You came to my house, talked with my family, made me laugh, and left me with food to feed my family. Our children attend the Bible study every week and always come home telling us everything they’ve learned about Jesus.” —MARTA, GUATEMALA Cru

We invite others to partner with us to reach people for Christ. Cru

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. Cru

I must find a team of partners who will give $100 monthly or some other amount to support my ministry. 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 our ministry. » To share prayer concerns with one another.

THE COMMITMENT Your partnership can make a difference in reaching people for Christ. Would you make a monthly commitment of $100 or some other amount? Cru
