What’s so important about NJ?

New Jersey - A Front Line Ministry Field

Snug between NYC and Philadelphia, with the highest density of schools, highest % of international students and highest incomes in the world, New Jersey is arguably the most prominent seat of power for affecting the entire world.  In such an important place, it is heartbreaking that...

Less than 5% of NJ’s population attend a Bible-believing church, while China’s government is ready to recognize almost 20%!

 

Far from being “the Bible Belt,” few places are more intellectually hostile to Christianity than the colleges of NJ.  Because of the culture and the cost of living, Campus Crusade has a difficult time finding staff to work here. 

 

While some states have as many as 18 staff on a single campus, NJ has 60 campuses and only 10 staff.

New Jersey is an international mission field, where the world sends its future leaders for education.  We have this chance to reach not only the college campus, but the government, the media, corporations, etc all over the world!
