When Bill and Vonette Bright first launched the ministry, then called Campus Crusade for Christ, the underlying concept was to \u201cwin the campus today and change the world tomorrow.\u201d More than 50 years later, the mission remains the same. In 2012, Campus Crusade in the U.S. formally changed its name to Cru. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/us\/en\/about.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about Cru.<\/span><\/a><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional, orthodox Christian beliefs are at the core of the Cru movement.

Raising the money is probably easier than you think. Once your student has been accepted to the mission trip with Cru, they will receive assistance in writing support letters, making phone calls and following up with potential sponsors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have found that there are two major resources that will help students raise their money. As we go through them, remember \u2013 GOD is always our source!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family and friends: It is very important for your son or daughter to share the story of what God has done in their heart with family and close friends. We will help your student write a support letter to share where they are going, why they are going, and how the family member or friend can be a part of what God wants to do through them. It is important for your student to let them know how much the trip is going to cost so that they know how much help will be needed. This will give them the opportunity to be a part of your son or daughter\u2019s mission trip. Support letters not only give people the opportunity to help financially, but also prayerfully. It is a great way to allow people to see what God is doing, especially to those who may not know you very well. Family and friends, regardless of their religious beliefs, will often be very willing to help\u2014all you have to do is ask. Remember, the money that they give is for God, not for you, so don\u2019t hesitate to ask. It is also tax deductible which is a big plus!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pastor and youth pastors: Churches desire and are often able to be a part of sending your son or daughter on a mission trip like this. Your son or daughter could set up a meeting with the pastor and\/or youth pastor to share what God has placed on their heart. See if they would be willing to help by allowing your student to address the church, take up an offering, or talk with the mission\u2019s board.<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/us\/en\/about\/donor-relations\/stewardship-guidelines.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Cru\u2019s commitment to stewardship<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8faa1ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8faa1ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow\" href=\"#onthispage\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">\u2191 back to top<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4150f84 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4150f84\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68f9458 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"68f9458\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e427bf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e427bf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"communication\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Communication<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97663bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"97663bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
