Scott Cuidon (“kwee’ don” – a native of north St. Louis, Missouri County) and wife Jayne serve through CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) in Zagreb, Croatia, helping hurting pastors, missionaries and other Christian workers serving primarily in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Scott and Jayne have been ministering in this manner since 1994.
From their brochure: “… Each year at least 5,000 missionaries leave the field unnecessarily because of excessive stress involving personal, family, social, and ministry-related problems. Those remaining on the field face life stressors at least 2-3 times those experienced by individuals at home in the United States.”
