Drew Anderson
Director |
|
 |
Sadly,
in 2009 Andrew (Drew) Anderson closed his eyes on this life, passing away
peacefully after a long history of heart problems. Adult stem cell therapy gave
him a better quality of life for a time, but eventually, the Lord called him
home. He is now in the eternal presence of God. Drew was the founder of the
Overcomers of Naples group in Naples, FL - a program for those struggling
with various addictions. Drew was also very pleased to be associated with CRY's
work with needy children around the world. Born in Northern Ireland, Drew last
lived in Naples Florida, where he was
the founding President of South Florida Excavation. |

Pastor
Dale Benson
Director |
Pastor Dale was one of the founder Board members of
CRY USA. At that time, Dale was Pastor at First Church of the Nazarene
in Naples, Florida. However, in 2008, Dale moved with his family to
Nashville, Tennessee taking up the role of Sr. Associate Pastor of
Nashville First Church of Nazarene - at which time Dale regrettably had
to resign from the CRY USA Board due to increased pressure of work. |

We are currently seeking suitable replacements for Drew and Dale on our

Why Support CRY USA?
If you are looking to support a non-profit with Zillions of
Dollars of income, and Zillions of programs all round the world, and well known
to 'every man and his dog', this is NOT us, and therefore we are probably NOT
for you!
If however, you are looking for a VERY PERSONAL,
VERY CHRISTIAN and VERY CHARITABLE non-profit charity, which VERY EFFECTIVELY reaches out to
needy children, young people and the communities they live in, and
where you
want to really feel involved, then we
ARE for you! You have stopped by at the right
place!
AND you have our guarantee that
95% of any financial gifts you make (including child and program
sponsorships), reach the desired destination!
We
won't play with the
financial numbers like smart accountants can do, with us '...what
you see is what you get'! Just like a firm in England who produce
well known timber varnishes, Ronseal - their tagline states "...it does exactly what it
says on the tin"©.
By getting involved with and supporting CRY USA, you will
soon get to feel every heartbeat of the organization, ride with us on all the
twists and turns that inevitably come with this sort of work, and feel very much
an integral part of all that is going on, sharing in all the success stories and
effectiveness of your prayers.
