Episode 12: Missional Communities on Campus

We seem to be inundated with bad news these days from our schools, but on this episode, you will be encouraged to hear about some of the ways in which God is on the move in our high schools and on our college campuses. Gina's guest is a young man named Collin Jester who, when he was a sophomore in high school, sensed God calling him to begin a missional community in his school. Collin was an athlete and ran with that crowd, but he sensed God calling him to reach out to those who were different than him - those who were overlooked by some in his high school. His stories of how God moved are pretty incredible! Today, Collin is in college, and after a fruitful ministry in high school, he is continuing to follow the Lord's direction in developing missional relationships with people on his college campus as well. There is so much we can learn from Collin on the faith and prayer it takes to go on mission, and there is much encouragement to be had from hearing how God worked through him at such a young age.
