Bill Bright spent more than 50 years building and leading Cru. Bill, along with his wife Vonette, pursued their passion for ministry by starting Cru at the University of California at Los Angeles. What began with college students has since grown into the largest international Christian ministry in the world, reaching beyond students to serve inner cities, the military, athletes, political and business leaders, the entertainment industries, and families.
Life of prayer, life of joy. In 2015 Vonette went to be with the Lord. Read her journey from her own words of how she came to know the Lord.
