A Firm, Transcendent Hope for a Hurting World

We live in a pain-filled world with overwhelming burdens. We struggle. We hurt.

And students are struggling too.

"My parents died of HIV when I was five. After my grandparents pass, it will be just me left."

-Shonya, a student involved with Cru at the community college nearby

"The only time me and my dad talk is when we're fighting. If I don't talk to him, we never talk."

-Resa, a new believer

"After my mom came home from the hospital (following what we thought was a successful treatment), my mom unexpectedly died. My older brother had to come down from New England to help see me through high school. He's the closest person to Jesus I know."

-Neil, a self-described agnostic I met during an outreach
