Jersey Cru - Sent Ones

The last Friday of each month, students from
around the state gather to connect with God through song, storytelling, and Bible. The last Friday in April, I was privileged to address the future leaders of New Jersey about how they can influence their peers, family & professors for Christ.

A Willing Heart

Will you check out this video describing the organization I work with as a full-time missionary and consider joining my team through prayer or financial support today?

Quest Week - Spring 2012

Jersey Metro Cru: A caring community passionate about connecting people to Jesus Christ.
Across the state, students are intentionally starting conversations and taking steps in their relationships to sharing Jesus Christ.

Quest Week: At Kean, we'd like to start spiritual conversations with students and faculty to get a better perspective of their views on life, love, God, and spiritual things. Join us in prayer as students start enlightening conversations, play games, and having lunch on the lawn for the sake of an opportunity to change a life with GOOD NEWS!

Race, Culture, & Religion

If you know me at all, you know that this blog posting is actually very well delayed.

Be real... How much of an issue is gender, race or culture when you address someone for the first time about religion?

Do we cater the Kingdom of God to those who most look like us unless we feel especially called to some people of a different culture?! Is that why I hear so many people say "I'm going to Africa on a missions trip" when Africa is a continent? Or is this why people say they are called to an urban environment (thinking poor, minorities) when most "urban environments" have a wide range of people with widely different economical statuses?

Do we have to feel called to a certain group of people if they are different from us before we can be a light to them?

Why don't more Christians start spiritual conversations with people who are different from them? Is it a matter of comfort? Ignorance? Sin?
