"He became a different person. He opened himself up to having friends. From being a kind of mean, angry person, he became caring and loving and very outgoing. He would go out of his way to do anything for anyone."

(Denver, Colorado)—24-year-old Philip Crouse had lived a troubled life in Alaska before he was saved. According to a report in the Rocky Mountain News, when Crouse first walked into Peters Creek Christian Center in Chugiak, Alaska, he was an antisocial, trench coat-wearing skin-head. (Photo: FNC)

Chris Dunn remembers that Crouse had been medicated to control a psychiatric disorder and was living on welfare. "He [Crouse] was kind of hateful, part of a bad group of people. His family life was pretty hard," said Dunn, adding that when a couple people at the church tried to show Crouse that they cared about him he stormed out of the church saying he would never come back again.

But Crouse did return a few weeks later saying that he wanted Jesus Christ to save him.

On the morning of Sunday, December 9th, Crouse was one of two YWAM workers gunned down and killed in Colorado.
