Helping lead the Discipleship Journey is one aspect of our work;
this web page is also a convenient place to share a bit more about us...
— Tim and Aubrey
Aubrey graduated from Webster University, and I (Tim) graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2001. God transformed our lives while we were college students, and we became full-time campus ministers with Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) after graduating. From 2011 to 2018, we gave leadership to the Cru campus ministry team and the twenty-five campuses where we launched ministries. During that time, in order to become a more effective minister of the Gospel, I also completed a Master of Divinity at Covenant Seminary. In 2018, although we still have a heart for college students, we began serving with Cru City, which takes Cru distinctives of Gospel ministry to meet the needs of major cities. Cru City is thriving in many major U.S. cities, and Aubrey and I are pioneering it here in St. Louis. What is our specific vision for how to help reach St. Louis for Christ?
“Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” — Matthew 28:18-20
Our prayer and aim is to:
Help St. Louis churches grow in personal evangelism and discipleship
Help St. Louis Christians abide in Jesus daily and develop deep gospel relationships
Help St. Louis non-Christians know someone seeking to share Jesus with them
Anyone, anywhere who requests help with these endeavors
The highest motivation for these efforts is seen in the life of Jesus for “when he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” People desperately need Jesus, the Good Shepherd!
