Give to Kris Cruz Ministries
I’m Chaplain Kris. There is no cost to facilities or families for pastoral care. Your gift keeps me at the unit table and with families after the visit — travel, regular days inside, and showing up when a hard day lands.
A weekend is not enough. Gifts keep me coming back.
Gifts are received by Kris Cruz Ministries, a Texas nonprofit corporation. Federal tax-exempt status is pending with the IRS. Gifts are not described as tax-deductible.

GiveButter texts back a secure link to finish the gift. It is not billed to your phone.
Rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Not the chaplain’s personal number.
“I've been partnering with Kris financially because I can't do much myself, and I know that giving to his ministry glorifies the Lord. Thanks to him, I'm able to help through my finances.”
Where the money goes
Gifts to Kris Cruz Ministries fund the work itself:
- Facility presence — visits with men and young guys inside TJJD and TDCJ settings in North Texas
- Family care — prayer and pastoral support for loved ones on the outside, free of charge
- Crisis response — showing up when grief or a hard day lands without warning

Giving questions
Are gifts tax-deductible?
Gifts are received by Kris Cruz Ministries, a Texas nonprofit corporation. Federal tax-exempt status is pending with the IRS. Until that determination is in hand, we do not describe gifts as tax-deductible.
Monthly or one-time?
Monthly is what keeps a facility on a regular calendar. One-time gifts still matter — they cover the next trip, the next hard day. Use the form above for either.
Is text-to-give the same as the form?
Yes. Text KRISCRUZ to 53-555, the form on this page, the QR code, and the GiveButter campaign page all go to Kris Cruz Ministries. The short code is not my personal number.
