Joe and Sarah have been part of CFC since 1991. They served overseas with Pioneers in Central Asia on a church planting team for a number of years. Since 2012 they have been in Orlando where Joe serves as the V.P. of Mobilization for Pioneers USA. Pioneers is a church planting organization that sends missionaries to the most spiritually needy places in the world. Their current role is leading the mobilization efforts in the US. This involves casting vision for missions around the US, recruiting, training and sending missionaries to the unreached, focusing on places that are less than 2% Christian. Their team of 30 is made up of missions coaches, two short term programs and a group of long term coaches. Each year they have the privilege of seeing over 100 people going on short term trips to explore their fit in the Great Commission and over 200 a year moving forward in long-term missions to the unreached. They have 2 boys, Ezra and Eli, who Sarah is homeschooling. Their passion is to see God glorified by raising and sending laborers to the harvest field.

Eric and Melanie (Ludwig), along with their kids, are serving in Michigan. Eric works with Cru at the University of Michigan, while Melanie teaches 3rd grade. As Eric put it, “God has called us to serve at the University of Michigan. It is our privilege to work with some of the brightest, most creative, and energetic college students in the Midwest and from around the world. We are dedicated to evangelism and discipleship so that ultimately every student at U-M will have an opportunity to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is an incredibly strategic ministry for advancing the Great Commission and speeding the return of Christ. Our ministry is a launch pad for missions into every level of society and around the world. While in Campus Crusade at U-M, our students grow in their faith and are equipped to do ministry. Michigan students go on to be leaders in every area of commerce and industry where they are now able to live out their Christian faith and make an impact for Christ in previously unreached spheres of influence.”
