From Becca Hartman

Craig:
It's hard for me to think back to when I was a freshman and newbie to Crusade at ECU and how I hardly knew you or your family at all...now, I consider you and your sweet family very close and dear to me, and I am incredibly thankful that God placed me at ECU in Crusade! Cru was the first place that I really had ever heard someone tell me that saying a "salvation prayer" doesn't save you, and that there MUST be a significant change in your life that you can see Christ working in you as opposed to before you knew Him. It was within Cru that I started looking at my life and my past, and wondering where the change actually had occurred. It was within ECU Cru that I actually looked at my testimony and tried to define when Christ changed my heart, and how I am different now. I am so thankful for God's sovereignty with Him bringing me into Cru and having you and Brad there, teaching truth. Thank you for standing up for the Gospel and making a difference in my life, and the lives of students. Thank you for challenging me and loving me enough to ask the hard questions that no one else wants to ask. Thanks for always talking with me about photography stuff, and showing me things about your camera and in photoshop. Thank you for letting me get to know your wife and your kids on a deeper level. Thank you for allowing me join the ECU CRU team for this past year and minister to students alongside you and Brad... Though it wasn't always easy, and I didn't do everything right, I am very thankful for your help with everything and encouraging me to get things done. It has really been a pleasure and a joy to get to know you on a different level than just as a student, and it has been made even more evident to me the love and genuine care you have for students who don't know Christ. It encourages me to become more passionate, and to get to know the Lord more deeply so I can love with the love of Christ more greatly. Thanks for all you have done in this ministry; it will not be forgotten by those you have impacted. I believe you have left a legacy here at ECU that will last long, long time. I appreciate you and your family's hard work and dedication at ECU! You all will be greatly missed, but I am excited to see how God will use you guys in other people's lives. Thanks again for what you said Thursday night at CRU... I don't think I will ever be able to read Ephesians 2 the same way again without thinking of that time and message! I will be thinking of you all often and praying for this next chapter in your lives.

Love you guys!
