Global
Foreign military service members and their families
The Global Team of Cru Military is all about local movements with a global impact. To make that happen, God has brought together a community passionate about connecting the global military community to Christ and God’s best. We know deep in our hearts that faith makes a difference in the lives of those in uniform. Faith makes a difference to those who have answered the call to serve their nations and live with the special conditions and stresses that come with life in the military, whether on the front lines or on the home front… whether before, during or after deployments in harm’s way.
