Quotes from Mankato
"Mankato Cru has affected my life greatly! Coming to college my freshman year I didn't want to be involved in a Christian organization, because I had been upset with God for letting so much bad stuff happen in my life. My roommate encouraged me to go with her. I quickly became involved and fell in love with Cru. While at Fall Retreat, I began praying that I would be able to be a light for a girl that had gone through similar obstacles that I had. Within the second week of my Sophomore year, God answered that prayer. I can see God moving in my life, and on this campus. I am excited to see what He does this year and for years to come."
