We are Joe and Amy Pavlish, missionaries with the Christian missions organization, Athletes in Action (a ministry of Cru). Joe grew up in Billings, MT and Amy grew up in Mill Creek, WA. After great experiences at the University of Montana and Washington State University as students and then interning in Asia and at WSU and reaching students in Portland and Asia (again), we felt led by the Lord to give our lives to reaching college athletes. College athletes are one of the most influential, but also used groups of people in our world. Jesus doesn’t want anything from them, except their very heart.
We are missionaries in Boise, Idaho. There are a few different college athletic departments in the Boise area that make up almost a thousand people. We are focusing mainly at Boise State University right now, where we are the only minister’s dedicated to reaching the athletic department full-time. BSU is one of the highest achieving athletic departments in the Northwest. Student athletes are good, but often put their identity in things that will not last. We hope to be the voice of Jesus in this busy world.
We are excited for the opportunity to share the gospel At Boise State and beyond! We are passionate about following Jesus and helping college students own their relationship with him for a lifetime. We dream of one day, when there are pockets of believers in every corner of every campus in the whole world.
