One of the last great opportunities for students to come to faith is during their university experience. Eighty percent (80%) of people come to Christ by age 25. Thank you for helping raise up missionaries and provide hope and eternal life to university students in America!
Black-Out Drunk
As a freshman, Katie was a Catholic but did not have a personal relationship with the Lord. She would get black-out drunk almost every weekend. She made choices that injured her heart and life, which continued in a vicious cycle.
Katie found out about a Chi Alpha Bible study led by her resident assistant on her dorm floor. She started attending, made new friends, and heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Katie got saved, stopped drinking, continued to be a part of her Bible study, joined the worship team, and ultimately became a student leader with a great servant’s heart. – Univ of Dayton
Unknown to Everyone Else
Hannah was a very hard atheist who had a long history of substance abuse and self-harm. She called Chi Alpha a cult and shut down anyone who would try to invite her.
After being invited multiple times to a Chi Alpha retreat, she eventually agreed to go. Unknown to everyone else, the only reason she decided to go was that she was planning on ending her life at the end of the weekend. She figured she had nothing to lose by going.
Hannah experienced God one night in worship at the retreat. Her hardness broke, and she gave her life to Christ. Two days later, she was baptized. Hannah is now ministering to others as she disciples girls through her small group Bible study. – Univ of TN
Gregg’s Greeting
Recently, one challenge has been the covid surge. Many universities went virtual for January and are opening back up in February. US Missions had to cancel the March Candidate Orientation. Although we couldn’t meet the new candidate missionaries in person in Springfield, MO, we can meet face to face through Zoom meetings! We have six missionaries that will start their training, and I will begin working with them in early March. In our following newsletter, I’ll introduce you to them. Please pray with me to connect well to help them build a strong spiritual and skill foundation for their missionary partnership development.

SPRINT Launch – July 2021 Newsletter
A big blessing about being a missionary is sharing your heart and vision for ministry… Yet, at times missionaries experience a significant reduction of support which impacts their family and ministry. To assist our underfunded missionaries, we recently launched SPRINT (Support Raising In Teams)…
Nick Boldly Shared – May 2021 Newsletter
Yesterday evening, our friend Nick was kidnapped by his family again and interrogated about his faith… He responded, “If this is my time to die, then I will die. But I have peace in my heart because I have found the truth.” His family then grabbed him and led him out of the house to stone him. As they led him away from the house, Nick closed his eyes and began to pray in the Spirit…
Hopeless No More – March 2021 Newsletter
Hopeless No More “Die to yourself today, and gain true life for eternity,” I heard the pastor say. “Die to myself?” I thought, “what does that even mean?”. The only way I knew how to live was for myself. What did I need? What was best for me? How could I get ahead?...
