For the past 50+ years, Nicky Cruz has traveled the world speaking to nearly 50 million people in person. For decades this author of 17 books has been driven to reach an at-risk youth culture being decimated by crime, drugs, and gang activity.
Since 1991, Nicky, his daughter and son-in-law—Alicia and Patrick Dow—have been gripped by a passion to evangelize unchurched communities. Out of this passion the TRUCE (To Reach Urban Communities Everywhere) evangelism training program was launched.
TRUCE utilizes urban art forms (rap, hip hop, R and B, spoken word, theater, dance) as a platform to present the Gospel. We partner with local churches to train Christians to evangelize their communities and then hit the neediest areas of a city with a hard-hitting Gospel presentation followed by an altar call for salvation.
