  • CWM - Stu Crum
    Sep 3 2024

    When Stu Crum’s college football heroics put him on the national radar as a model student-athlete, the expectations for a bright future could not have predicted his soaring ascent in business. Tagged as a winner with a natural gift for leadership, Crum made his name internationally in key positions with Texaco, Shell Oil, Jiffy Lube, and Bridgestone, wrangling deals with the likes of activist investor Carl Icahn and other heavy hitters.

    Yet beneath the surface lay a deeper man. While still at Tulsa University, Crum devoted his life to his faith and embraced servant leadership as his game plan for ultimate success in business, family, faith and fun. Despite personal setbacks and injury-laden stints with the NFL and USFL, Crum blossomed at every turn by developing a simple, dynamic playbook that put his every aspiration within reach. He calls it intentional living.

    Jimmy Dorrell is Co-founder and President Emeritus of Mission Waco Mission World. After graduating from seminary in 1978, he and his wife Janet traveled the world to work among the poor.

Dorrell’s passion for the poor and mobilizing the middle-class to become involved in the lives of the poor became the strategy for Mission Waco Mission World that continues today.

    Dorrell has served as pastor of Church Under the Bridge since 1992 while also teaching classes at Baylor University and Truett Seminary in Waco.
