God called me on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ (now Cru) in 2003. Since then I have invested in the lives of students at the University of North Dakota (my alma mater), the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, in Metro Milwaukee, and around the Upper Midwest. I have witnessed God at work, transforming college students' lives. We seek to share Christ with students who don't yet know Him, to help students who do know Christ to grow in their faith, and to send students to reach the ends of the world for Christ.
In Summer 2025 I joined our Cru Campus Coaching Center Team. Imagine arriving on campus and discovering that there is no Christian group at your college or university. We try to connect with those students who might be willing to start a new student-led Cru group on their campus. Our Coaching Center team meets with these leaders every week for training and coaching.
The Coaching Center helps Cru accelerate its ability to launch and build gospel movements on campuses and in communities. We coach anyone, anywhere, anytime who shares our missional vision. We love watching students become convinced that God can use them in a profound way and empower them to take steps of faith.
Our team is focused on smaller, under-served campuses where we have no full-time Cru staff onsite. This team began its distance-coaching work long before the age of FaceTime and Zoom, with a 1-800 number in 1988! The highly experienced staff of The Coaching Center are now actively coaching ministries on 170+ campuses throughout the U.S. I am honored to be working alongside these Godly and wise teammates!
Pray with me that my service will result in more lost students coming to know Jesus, and more laborers being sent to the nations. I am incredibly grateful for your prayers and generous giving!
