"If you are not sure what to do after college yet, then consider giving one year of your life as a campus missionary! I feel like it took almost all of college for me to learn certain things about following Jesus and making disciples. It would have been hard to just leave college without invested what I have learned into the lives of others. But sense I have had the chance be a campus missionary, right away I was able to teach others the things it took all of college for me to learn. It has been such a blessing to get to spend this much time helping to make disciples that will make disciples!"

When I graduated from college I wanted to get a "real" job, but didn't. I wanted to pursue a relationship in a certain way, but didn't. I wanted to take more classes, but didn't. Instead, I invested my life in the lives of students as a Campus Missionary, and because of that I'm a different person. I wouldn't have it any other way.

carrie cropped Well, you may be wondering what "campus missionary" means. It blows me away, honestly. Well...my job is simply not a job, which is a joy to me. I get...I'm allowed...I'm called...to work with college students developing relationships that hopefully will lead to them enjoying the best relationship of all times...one with Christ. I get to be about discipleship, which involves fully investing in individual lives...loving, guiding, teaching, and sharing life with students. It's an opportunity to really touch lives on an eternal level and I'm thrilled to get in and get my hands dirty!
