The Journey to CCC Camp Brett-Endeavor: We came to fall in love with ministry while working at a Christian camp in Lebanon, NJ. It was the first time we saw clearly how serving God was fulfilling our purpose in life and that nothing else would satisfy. Messiah College: Both majoring in English (writing), we learned to express our thoughts in ways that would be relevant to fellow students. Jeff also minored in Philosophy and apologetics. Spirit Force: Volunteering in this outreach team was a great way for Jeff to practice writing and directing Christian dramas and performing in dance outreach. ICON (West Shore Evangelical Free Church): After college, Jeff and Karen were blown away to discover that young adults are responsive to the gospel if approached in a relevant manner. It was through this group that we first felt called to reach out to this age group. Focus (South Ridge Community Church): The first weekend back in NJ, Jeff was asked to pioneer a young adult ministry out of his home church. Karen and Jeff volunteer-led this ministry for about 4 years. Jersey Metro (Campus Crusade for Christ): With an aching heart to serve God in full-time Ministry, both Jeff and Karen were captured instantly by the passion of CCC when introduced to it through a Focus member. This was the answer to years of prayer! |

Since I was a teen, I knew that God designed me for a purpose (Psalm 139) and that doing anything else with my life would be unfulfilling. God placed a desire in my heart to serve young adults, giving me the passion and creativity to reach them in a relevant way. |
|
I have wanted to minister to young women since God drew me back to Himself in college. Helping Jeff lead the young adult group at our church has grown my faith and developed my confidence to teach and lead. I believe God has blessed us and raised us up here because He wants us to reach out to the youth of New Jersey. |
