Cru is a community passionate about connecting people to Jesus Christ.
College is a time of transition and independence for students, and there are a lot of things competing for their hearts and minds as they enter the University environment. Bill and Martha Oliver were greatly impacted by ministries on their campuses when they were students and so they feel called to be there for college students today. Bill and Martha work together to resource, coach, and encourage interns and staff from Alaska to Alabama and Internationally. They serve to effectively reach students for Christ, grow them in their faith, and help them go out with a vision for how to reach the world around them.
Bill and Martha have hometown roots in Sherwood and have been members of Countryside since 2004. Countryside has been their home base as they served overseas for many years and has been a constant source of encouragement and place of growth for their family.
