My Story
Hello! My name is Alexander Lyons. I grew up on a farm outside of Prairie City, Iowa. Even as a young boy, GOD has has given me a passion for digital art, storytelling, and video games. Through youth group at Adventure Life Church, I found Jesus Christ, the author of the universe's storyline and the creative designer of joy and love!
After graduating PCM High School in 2016, I studied at Western Iowa Tech Community College to study video game design. There, I got involved with the Sioux Empire chapter of Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru). The Holy Spirit matured me and broke my heart for the many nations and ethnic groups around the world who are unreached by the gospel. As a result, upon graduating WITCC in December 2018, I decided to commit my life to Christian ministry.
My Role
I am a Computer Graphics (CG) Artist for the Jesus Film Project, a ministry of Cru based in Orlando, Florida. We seek to create a library of Christian movies, short films, and other digital tools to equip you in your ministry. Our focus for the next two years is the production of an animated feature film: JESUS. This incredible reimaging of the life of Jesus Christ will soon come out in movie theaters worldwide. My specific role with this film is to digitally create props (assets) that will populate the scenes and bring His story to life.
It doesn't just end with the movie, either! Cru is exploring ministry usage of this film in order to reach the spiritual leaders of tomorrow. Using the assets my team creates, we could create subsequent content: follow-up films, gaming outreaches, virtual reality (VR) experiences, and so much more! The gospel never changes, but the means of delivery must always adapt to our changing world. The next generation is waiting to hear the gospel and to see Jesus. Will you join me on this incredible adventure?
My Vision
Through walking in the POWER of the Holy Spirit, everyone can hear the gospel and see Jesus.
Everyone should be presented with a clear choice to either ACCEPT or DENY Him.
By faith in Jesus Christ, all families of the world will be blessed!
My Need
Cru is a nonprofit ministry organization and has no means of generating funds on its own. Missionaries like myself must raise up a team of concerned individuals, families, and churches to financially support our ministries. Financial giving can be one-time, monthly, quarterly, annual, etc.
