About Us<\/h2><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Because every family matters.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1976, the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ (now called Cru) saw young couples on staff struggling and knew something must be done. Immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty-plus years later, with over 3 million people attending events, 1.6 million weekly radio listeners, and resources in over 100 countries, we\u2019re ready to help even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not about numbers for us. Unless we\u2019re talking about the number 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping one family at a time. Making God number one in each life, each home, each day. Knowing there\u2019s only one family like yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Outreach<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

While ministry outside the U.S. started as early as the late 1970s, the Global department of FamilyLife officially began in 1992. Today, FamilyLife has events, small groups, and radio broadcasts around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Where We Are<\/a> page will give you contact information on some of the countries where we have a ministry presence. Or contact global@familylife.com<\/a> for more information about the ministry or available resources within a particular country.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
