Turning Lost Students into Christ-Centered Laborers in Boston

In one place where American Christianity first dug its roots, where campuses such as Harvard and Boston University were formed to promote a new generation of Christian thinkers and leaders, students today are far from that early promise. The vast majority of the more than 250,000 students in the greater Boston metro area are not living their lives in light of the reality of the Gospel. A significant number do not even know what the Gospel of Jesus is and even more have never truly considered His claims.

In 1980 after graduating from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, I joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ because I wanted my life to count for Jesus. I wanted to join in helping to see the world reached for Jesus. After six initial years with the campus ministry in Minnesota, the Lord led me overseas to the Middle East where I worked for 19 years.

Although the need is great in the Middle East, the Lord began to put on my heart the desire to help raise up a new generation of laborers to go out into the world. As I would connect with students from the States, I began to see the challenges they faced on campus a campus culture that either aggressively opposes their faith or calls them to join in their hedonistic lifestyle. I also began to realize that fewer and fewer students knew the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I am thankful that the Lord has led me back to working with students and staff in the Boston metro area. As a team our desire is to see each student have the opportunity to respond to the Gospel message, that transformational communities of believers would be raised up on campus and that as a result others would be reached for Christ.

Please join me in seeing hearts and lives reached for Jesus Christ here in Boston!
