Sadee’s Story
As a freshmen at Northern Illinois University, I (Sadee) met Angie, a woman on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. Because my mom had died when I was a little girl, I always responded to the love extended to me by older women. Angie explained that I could have a life-changing personal relationship with God by inviting Jesus Christ into my life. I was mentored by Angie, and another staff woman named Debbi, throughout my time at NIU. After finishing a successful college career and heading toward corporate America, I sensed a strong calling from God to join the staff of Campus Crusade. I knew God was calling me to impact the lives of college students, in the same way that Angie and Debbi had impacted my life.
Aaron’s Story
As a junior at Minnesota State University Moorhead, I (Aaron) began to realize that a personal relationship with God involved more than simply knowing about God. Over the next 2 years, I saw God radically change my heart and life. Soon after graduating from MSUM, God reminded me of the incredible changes I had experienced during my college years. In the winter of 2001, I believe God called me to be a part of the life-impacting work He was doing in the lives of college students through the ministry of Campus Crusade.
Our Story

After spending the summer of 2001 together in Put-In-Bay, OH, we went our seperate ways. Our friendship continued for the next two years and we started dating in the summer of 2003. After a year of dating long-distance, we were engaged and I moved to Indiana to be on staff wtih Sadee at Indiana University. We were married in December 2004 and have served at IU for the past two years After almost 11 years of combined experience on US campuses, we’re excited to see how God is working around the world.
