FIELD
Jake’s family traveled all over the United States while he was growing up, which made it hard for him to form good Christian friendships. For the first time in his life, because of Campus Ambassadors, he is surrounded by faithful Christians and is now forming some awesome and lasting friendships.
“Campus Ambassadors is so fulfilling for me and an awesome way to share my faith and be a witness to thousands of college kids. I need to be able to share my faith openly. Life to me just seems so pointless if I can’t share my faith.”
Chrissy has been attending Campus Ambassadors meetings since December of her 11th-grade year of high school. Wanting to take more of a leadership role in the group, she applied with Missions Door and was appointed as an intern. She is excited about her role in reaching the countless unsaved students and is looking forward to opportunities to mentor those around her.
“In coming to Campus Ambassadors I found that I had been extremely blessed in my upbringing. I was asked and encouraged to begin mentoring and it really changed my life. It taught me that spiritual gifts don’t always have to be inside the box, and that it’s not so much what you know, but instead how you live your life that is going to impact the most people.”
FAITH
Jake grew up in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. His family never had a lot of money, but his parents always found ways to provide in times of hardship and this really gave Jake a heart for the poor and for challenging people to live simply.
When Jake started going to Campus Ambassadors he absolutely fell in love with Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and that’s where he learned to have a personal relationship with Him and that it wasn’t about legalism.
Chrissy personally accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at the age of 8, during an altar call at a Christian camp, after realizing that she did not possess any abilities outside of God’s grace. She made the decision that she wanted to “be a credit to God’s name.”
FAMILY
Jake and Chrissy were both raised in loving Christian homes. They met at Calvary Baptist Church of LeRoy in the fall of 2003 and the rest is history. They were joined in marriage on June 6, 2009.
