Brenda Friesen

Brenda joined Cru in 1972 after she worked right out of High School for the Revenue Department of the State of Oregon. Her ministry with Cru started at the Arrowhead Spring headquarters in San Bernardino, CA.  After working at headquarters for two years, she joined the music ministry, singing with two different groups for four years.  God opened the door for her to join The Crossroads, a Cru singing group.  For 4 1/2 years, she traveled throughout Asia while living in Manila, Philippines.  After the group disbanded, she stayed in the Philippines, became involved in a discipleship ministry, and ended her time at our Director of Affairs office.  In 1997, she moved to California and became an Agape International Training coach, and in 2003 was challenged to join the MK2MK team as their Financial Administrator.  During her 18 years in the Philippines, she enjoyed getting to know many MKs and built a special bond with them.  Being with MK2MK has continued to give me opportunities to be a part of their lives.
