Scott Nickell
Scott is passionate about helping people meet the real Jesus.

Scott is currently the teaching pastor at Flatirons Community Church in boulder county Colorado. He has been married to his high school sweetheart, Alison for 9 years. They have two children, a daughter Landrie who is 6 and a son Elijah who is 4, and Silas who is 9 months!
Greg and Charmaine Lillestrand
Greg and Charmaine Lillestrand have been on staff with Cru for 25 years, and the scope of their ministry and their passion for sharing Christ is global. Shortly after joining staff, at the end of the Colrd War, they pioneered Cru ministries in Yugoslavia, led the campus ministry at UC Berkeley, and were among the first to take the gospel to the many nations of the former Soviet Union with the fall of the Iron Curtain (Charmaine has great stories about this time!). They later gave leadership to the Worldwide Student Network (WSN) for 8 years before moving to Europe in 2006, where they've been leading the Italian ministry and developing ministry leaders for the EU. Greg, Charmaine, and their two children, Ryan and Sophie, live in Florence, Italy.
Michael Brown
Michael Brown has been speaking, mentoring and leading in campus ministry for the past 18 years – the first four years at the University of Kansas and the past 14 years at Bowling Green State University.

As a Lambda Chi Alpha alumnus, Michael spends much of his time speaking in fraternities, as well as mentoring, counseling and challenging young men across campus. He also travels regionally and nationally, sharing his insights on leadership, relationships, innovative campus ministry and spirituality with university students, faculty and staff. Michael and his wife, Teresa, just celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary and reside in Bowling Green with their five children: Lauren, Justin, Logan, Ethan, and Jameson.
