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

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 that we have students from around the world “here in our backyard” who have never even heard the Gospel.  Or there are kids who have heard the gospel, but are not being discipled in their faith.  With God's grace, we hope to help.

As a student-athlete playing volleyball at the University of Southern California, I heard the gospel, committed my life to Jesus Christ, and received a calling to full-time ministry in 1994. I served college students for over 25 years as a minister with Every Nation Ministries, and my heart still burns to see students of all ages connect with their Heavenly Father. Thankfully, one of our greatest impacts is through sports ministry, and 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.
