One Life. One Mission.
I have one life with one mission: the Great Commission. This last year has been challenging on many fronts. We continue to face the challenges that COVID has brought. In the summer of 2020, many Alabama students were appointed to summer missions service. Even though their assignments were canceled due to the pandemic, I challenged […]
The Mission Isn’t Canceled – You’ve Just Been Reassigned
Summer is here. For me, this time of year brings great excitement of students serving across the globe. This year is different. This COVID-19 world has brought discouragement, questions and confusion. We have had to adjust to a new normal. Many things — such as graduations, birthday parties and summer mission journeys — have been […]

Summer Missions Report
Summer is in the rearview mirror. School has started or is about to start across the state. The heat may still be here, but everything else is a memory. As I review reports from student summer missionaries, I think of the 305 reported professions of faith – 305 lives changed by the Gospel. That memory is one […]
Summer on Mission will Change Your Life
“One summer on mission will forever change the trajectory of your life and the lives of those you serve.” If you spend some time talking to Lauren, that is a phrase you’ll likely hear. Lauren’s past two summers serving as a student missionary have given her a unique perspective on the importance of missions and […]
Mobilize the Mobilized
One of my primary areas of ministry is mobilizing students to the nations. I love to hear stories of how students have seen God at work through their service, whether it’s across town or across the globe. Yet, there is something about those stories that lead me to believe that God wants us to use […]
Student Missions Changes Lives
Do you have experiences in life where you think, “Nothing can top this.”? And then, the next time around, that experience is topped. And the next? And the next? Sometimes I feel like a broken record when I share about what God is doing through student summer missionaries. Last year was the best. But, the […]
1,150+ Professions of Faith
Summer has come and gone. The heat will linger for a little while, but school is back in session. Student summer missionaries are back in class and learning to adjust back to life on campus. Reports from student missionaries have trickled in over the past month, and the stories from these students always amaze me. […]
Summer…the season of student missions!
Summer is here. For many, that means hot days and trips to the pool and grilling out and maybe even a trip to the beach. I try to take advantage of all that too (except for the heat!), but for me summer is the season of student missions. In our office, summer is the culmination […]
