After being reached on the college campus, Mandy and I are so thankful to build disciples of Jesus Christ right here on the campuses in Nashville, TN. Our city is becoming one of the fastest growing cities in the United States (85 people move to Nashville everyday). We host some of the world’s finest universities with over 35,000 students from around the world: Vanderbilt, Belmont, Tennessee State, Lipscomb, Fisk, Trevecca, and Meharry Medical Center.

Mandy graduated as a nurse from Belmont and her goal has always been to reach the nations and the unreached people groups. The amazing thing is we have college students from around the world “here in our backyard,” who have never even heard the Gospel.

As a student-athlete playing volleyball at the University of Southern California, I heard the gospel, made a commitment to Jesus Christ, and received a calling to full-time ministry in 1994. I served college students over 25 years as a minister with Every Nation Ministries, and my heart still burns to see students of all backgrounds connect with their Heavenly Father. Thankfully, through sports ministry, we can reach kids and families all over the world.

Together, with our four amazing kids, we can make a vital difference in the lives of students. Thank you for helping us stand tall.
