Bethany Ware was born in Torrance, California shortly before her family moved to Little Rock, Arkansas to join Cru staff with FamilyLife. Bethany was just 2 ½ and then at only 4 ½, Bethany repented and placed her faith in Jesus.
After graduating from high school, Bethany’s family was called by God to move to Italy to plant an evangelical church and reach Italians for Christ. After a year of cross-cultural training and ministry in Italy, both working with and ministering to Italians, Bethany moved to Orlando to join Cru in 2009 as a Donation Services Representative. Shortly thereafter, she received her bachelor’s degree in marketing. Over the years, Bethany has served on several Cru teams which has afforded her the ultimate Cru experience. Bethany now serves as Marketing Director and Donor Services Team Lead for Cru Foundation.
Bethany has been married to her husband, Kyle Ware, since 2018 and they reside together in Winter Park, Florida. Bethany is the oldest of five kids and enjoys her special bond with her family which has grown even more important since 2019, when she and her siblings lost their mom, Jeannette, to colon cancer.
Bethany enjoys serving people, but especially Cru donors. She has a heart for ministry and to see the Great Commission fulfilled. In her spare time, Bethany enjoys traveling the world, trying new restaurants, going to the beach and spending time with family.
