CRU @ The University of South Florida
"Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God"
2 Corinthians 5:20-21
Our Vision:
We are working at the University of South Florida in Tampa. USF is the 9th largest public university by enrollment in the nation. These students represent a diversity of people, cultures and languages. Our hearts' desire is to see God raise up students from 'every nation, tribe, people and language' who will not only transform the Tampa Bay area, but take the gospel to the world.
Many of our students will be the future leaders of the Tampa Bay area. Eventually they will take the positions of power and influence that will determine the character of this community for decades to come. What a tremendous responsibility and opportunity we have!

USF students come from every state in the U.S. and more than 125 countries around the world, and more than a third of USF undergraduate students are African American, Black, Asian American, Hispanic or Native American.”
