Ed and Christy Hanna
Ed and Christy have been married for 20+ years and have four incredible children. They've been in ministry together for 20 years, including launching Cru in the Lehigh Valley in 2013. They both grew up in the Lehigh Valley, and are humbled to bring the Gospel to the campuses in their hometown.
Ed love sports...in particular college football, and more specifically LSU football. Christy loves design, being outdoors, reading, games and good conversations over a cup of coffee.
Ed and Christy are trusting that God will use them to communicate His great love to college students in the Lehigh Valley. It's a love that has changed them and continues to change their lives every day.
Joel and Kristina Dunn
Joel and Kristina have been married for almost ten years and have two children. They met at church in Williamsport, PA, where Joel attended Penn College of Technology. Joel was serving with Cru as a student when Kristina began mentoring college women and discovered a deep love for walking alongside young women in their faith. She has continued serving with Cru part-time, while Joel volunteers and works full-time in the Lehigh Valley.
Outside of Cru, they enjoy staying active, being outdoors, exploring new places, trying new foods, and spending time with family and friends. Kristina especially loves quiet moments in nature and time with their kids. Joel enjoys playing guitar, going to live shows, and snowboarding. They love serving their church and community and caring for college students.
Grace Lee
Grace graduated from Lehigh University in 2020 and has since joined staff with Cru in the Lehigh Valley. While at Lehigh, God used this very ministry to grab hold of her heart— to fully understand the Gospel and surrender her life to Jesus.
She considers it an honor to spend the best hours of her day talking to college students about Jesus. She is passionate about helping students fully graps the Gospel, grow in their faith, and mobilize them to be life-long disciples and laborers for God's Kingdom.
You’ll often hear her laughing, playing pickleball/ tennis, and taking pictures with her film camera!
Mateo Prieto
Mateo graduated from Lehigh University in 2026 and is now an intern with Lehigh Valley Cru. It was at Lehigh that Mateo understood the Gospel truly for the first time, as Christ met him through the love of those at Cru. Now, his heart is for students to know the overflowing love of Jesus.
Mateo loves reading and writing, and you’ll often hear him talking about his favorite authors like C. S. Lewis or G. K. Chesterton. Other times, he is sharing his own stories and poems, or sharing some of the worst (read: best) dad jokes out there.
It's Mateo’s joy to share about the love and beauty of God with college students, specifically how the Lord is making all things new and inviting us into the restoration of the universe.
