Young Life, South Jersey

Young Life is a ministry that outreaches to adolescents in the Southern New Jersey area. They began in 1982 with a few simple ideas about sharing the truth of God’s love, which has led to time tested methods for reaching out to middle school, high school and college students in friendship and hope. Currently, YL consists of four clubs in the local area led by 22 leaders that include the following: two high school clubs, one all area middle school club called Wyldlife, and one special needs club called Capernaum.

Young Life, Salem County

Young Life doesn’t start with a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don’t happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency. Young Life exists to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith. Young Life Salem County started in 2015. There are currently two high school ministries- Woodstown High and Salem high. The area is about to begin new work, Wyldlife (ministry with middle schoolers) and Young Lives (Ministry with teenage mothers). Young Life is partnered with several local churches in the area.

CRU USA

The campus ministry of Cru (known globally as Campus Crusade for Christ), was born in 1951 by Bill and Vonette Bright who believed that God would reach college students today to change the whole world tomorrow.  Since then, Cru has built movements of evangelism and discipleship in 193 countries.  Over the last 3 years, God has used Cru to draw over 70 million people into saving relationships with Himself.  Jeff and Karen focus on launching these gospel movements at colleges in NJ and across the country, and equipping church members how to build relationships with these amazing young people.

Cru, New Jersey Metro Cru

With over a half-million students attending college in New Jersey, which has a Jesus following population of less than 4%, there exists a tremendous competition for the hearts, minds, and souls of college students. Despite this reality, God is making Himself increasingly known to believing and unbelieving students alike. Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) is a caring community passionate about connecting people to Jesus Christ. As the Cru ministry in NJ (Jersey Metro Cru), it is our desire to join in God’s mighty work of making Jesus Christ known on every campus, influencing the state and ultimately the world. We desire to do this through the empowerment and leading of The Holy Spirit. Brianna serves with her co-laborers on the Jersey Metro team to meet students’ right where they are spiritually through intentional evangelism, caring community, and discipleship relationships. We trust God that, in reaching students today for Christ, we can reach the whole world tomorrow.

Bill & Kristie also do a lot of training throughout the region as well as coaching for other church planters throughout Europe, but their greatest passion and where they spend the bulk of their time is sharing the gospel with unbelievers.

SALT (Support and Leadership Training), Latin America & Europe)

  Founded in Huancayo, Peru, in 1999 by Gabriel Agostini, SALT Leadership has four primary ministries serving Spanish-speaking people in Latin America and Europe.  Through their first ministry LEAD (Leadership Education & Development), they train church leaders by helping them develop skills as teachers, organizers, administrators and servants of the body of Christ. Their second ministry SETE (Seminary Education by Theological Extension) offers a three-year course of studies of continuing education and theological preparation to pastors and pastorals candidates. Many of these students cannot travel to major metropolitan areas for ministerial training. Their third ministry ESTYC (School of Theology and Counseling) is a master’s level program currently operating in Temuco, Chile and Huancayo, Peru. Its purpose is to train pastors and church leaders who desire to counsel from a clear biblical perspective. Their fourth ministry is Mission Projects which helps churches plan and carry out short-term assignments involving special projects in Latin America and Europe.

David and Billie Blessing have been serving in Guinea, West Africa since 2007. By demonstrating compassion, building redemptive relationships, making disciples, and training leaders, they seek to reach the Fulbe people for Christ, establish local Fulbe churches, and empower the Fulbe believers to reach their own people with the Gospel.  Ultimately, their vision is to see a movement of reproducing churches among the people of Guinea that will bring glory to God by saturating the land with the Gospel message and leading many people to salvation in Christ.
