PIctures from Gen Ignite kick-off event: "Make Some Revolution."

This is what it looks like when hundreds of students choose to pray together for the same thing. Handwritten prayers were tacked to a board that says "We pray for those who suffer." And in the language of the persecuted church in Pakistan is written, "We pray for you." We are mailing the prayers to our contact person in Pakistan, and sending him a picture of the board to encourage the Pakistan Church.

A few hundred students showed up for the August 23rd kick-off event, and we cast the vision for Gen Ignite: a godly, relatable mentor + a small group of students = chance to grow in faith and impact your world.

What Do I Do?

I am a missionary sent out from Manna Church in Fayetteville, NC to reach the next generation. I do this by working with Gen Ignite, a student ministry that mentors students and trains them to impact their world. I also work with Rush Campus Ministries, which falls under Gen Ignite and focuses on Reaching the Unreached Student Harvest on school campuses.

Three main things I do:

1. Rush Campus Minister at Jack Britt High School. I spend time on campus mentoring students, and empowering them to influence their friends through the Rush Club and tons of outreach efforts.

2. I lead the Creative Team for Gen Ignite. We try to discover and implement the best possible ways to grab a little piece of God's heart and share it with hundreds of students at a time (I stole that description from fellow missionary Aubrey Sgro).

3. I help Gen Ignite develop our volunteer leaders into mentors who are committed to following Christ and intentional about pulling others along with them.
