John
John & Mary joined the staff of Cru in 1978. They began their ministry with Athletes in Action (the sports ministry of Cru) at the University of Texas. Feeling called by God to a lifetime of ministry, John decided to pursue a seminary degree as an investment in that future. They moved to Oregon in 1986 to attend Western Seminary and become part of SWBIBLE. They ministered to many people at our church during those years, and John led several evangelistic and discipleship efforts. After John graduated from Western, they spent the next 8 years in New Zealand where they were involved in evangelism and discipleship with university students at Auckland University. They also helped start Auckland Bible Church. As God raised up laborers in NZ, John & Mary focused on equipping those laborers to become leaders for the ministry of the gospel. In 1996, they turned the ministry over to NZers and moved to Budapest, Hungary where John became the Leader Development Coordinator for the 20 countries of Cru-Eastern Europe. For the past 26 years, he has been discipling, equipping and investing in the next generation of missionaries and pastors in this part of the world.
