Foreign military service members and their families

The International 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.

Some of you may have met us as “Military Ministry, A Division of Campus Crusade for Christ” helping local families cope with the stresses of overseas deployment; others as “Ministerio Militar” as we reach out to Latin American officers and NCO’s. In 32 other overseas locations where we minister, “Military Ministry” is often added to the host nation organization, like “Ukraine for Christ Military Ministry”. But regardless of the name you were introduced to us by, fostering spiritual movements to serve and bless the very best in is why we’re here. We provide your “spiritual expertise” in ministering to non-US Forces, led by indigenous Christian military leaders we have the honor and privilege to equip, strain, support and prayerfully walk alongside. It is to this mission field we are called and to these deserving military members and their families that we are blessed to serve in Christ’s name!
