Meet the Staff

Traci met Christ while attending Texas State University and worked for the American Cancer Society before joining staff with CRU in Utah in 2005. Chris accepted Christ early in life, but was challenged to greater commitment to Jesus while part of CRU at Washington State University. He interned in Alaska with CRU before joining the Utah team in 2007 when he and Traci were married.

Chris is originally from South Dakota and graduated from the University of Montana before joining staff to write for the Campus Crusade magazine, Worldwide Challenge. In 2009, Chris transitioned to join the Lifelines staff with the Lovejoys and is loving the mountains outside Salt Lake City.

Emily joined the Utah team in fall of 2008.  She is a graduate of Montana State University and quickly put her Spanish degree to use by interning with Campus Crusade in Merida, Venezuela for two years before coming to Utah.

Julie is from Fairbanks Alaska.  As a student in college, God revolutionized her life through Campus Crusade for Christ.  She has been on staff with the ministry for over 7 years where she has served the Lord in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and now Salt Lake City.  She is believing the Lord to create fresh pathways in her life and in the lives of the people in Utah.  (Psalm 77:19 NLS)

Use contact us page to email Keith and Miriam

We were married on August 17, 1991 and have three children: Susanna (7/1994), David (8/1996) and Daniel (2/2000).

Keith grew up going to church on Christmas and Easter and it wasn’t until his junior year of college that he was truly confronted with his own sin and his need for Jesus.  Keith got involved after accepting Christ and had a life changing summer in Yellowstone with CRU.  His desire to see lives changes like his was led him to join staff in 1989 when he graduated from Humboldt State University in Mathematics. He also received an MA in Pastoral Studies from the International School of Theology in 1999.

Miriam grew up in a Christian home and placed her faith in Christ early in her life.  A turning point in her relationship with God came when her family moved to Salt Lake City as she started High School.  There, she was forced to decide if she would go against the tide and walk with Christ.  As an RA in college, she saw the spiritual needs of the women, which led her to join staff after graduation.  Miriam studied Chemistry at the University of Utah, and also received the “Partner in Ministry” certificate from “International” in 1999.
