Faculty Commons works toward the day when . . .
» every campus has a movement of Christian professors who desire to make
Christ known to their colleagues and students.
» every student has the opportunity to know professors who follow Christ.
» every academic discipline has a movement of Christian scholars who seek to
restore the credibility of the Christian worldview in the marketplace of ideas.
We’re trusting God to fulfill this vision through the proven strategy of Win-
Build-Send.

PRESENT AND
FUTURE
» Cru is the name of Campus Crusade for Christ in
the United States.
» We are a caring community passionate about
connecting people to Jesus Christ.
» Our objective is for every person in the world to
have an opportunity to hear the Gospel.
Cru

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

19. 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

20. We must find a team of
partners who will give $100
monthly or some other amount
to support our ministry.
As soon as this team is
complete, we can turn our full
attention to reaching people for
Christ.
Cru
