Hi, thanks for visiting this site. We wanted to provide our ministry and prayer partners with the latest news and ministry reports. For those of you investing in us, we also want you to feel confident that your investment is being faithfully targeted. We also thought that some of you would appreciate resources that we’re developing to assist others. I (Jay) have put several resource websites together — from book summaries to reflections on spiritual movements and leadership. You can find links to those resources on the right. I’ll also be posting brief articles at this site (see Recent Postings). You’ll also find some training videos (some admittedly silly) and current tapes of teaching that we’re involved in. We’re also thrilled to expose you to several family initiatives (familiesforafrica.org and family blogs and music).
Laurie and I have been on full-time missionary staff with Campus Crusade for Christ for that last 13 years. We served various leadership roles within the Military Ministry until March 2007 when we moved over to the Campus Ministry to help give leadership to the Good News/Good Deeds Initiative. We’re thrilled with helping the Campus Ministry of Crusade to build movements of evangelism, discipleship and compassion. God is moving the organization to a greater Kingdom balance of passionate proclamation and compassionate demonstration of the good news of Jesus Christ. We’re working side by side with our good friends, Chip and Vicki Jo Scivicque. Part of our new role will include helping build partnerships between US campuses and African college campuses.

Recently, Laurie and I were also asked to join Rick and Sonya Hove in Faculty Commons. Faculty Commons is the new faculty ministry with Campus Crusade, assuming in part the mission and vision of the old Christian Leadership Ministry. Rick and Sonya have a powerful vision for building movements by reaching and equipping the faculty on the college campuses of the world. We’ll probably help with leadership development and with building a Worldwide Faculty Network (WFN). WFN’s initial vision includes sending faculty and students struggling areas of the world (Africa and parts of Asia), where they can bring their academic disciplines to bare on the hardest problems confronting the marginalized (the widow, orphan, poor, needy, sick, alien, etc) of the world. In doing so, we hope to bring the rule of Jesus Christ to the places of poverty, sickness, hopelessness and injustice.
Again, Laurie and I will be posting updates on our ministry below and in the dedicated pages above. I’ve also included links to conferences, causes, and resources that we are responsible for. As we travel, you’ll be able to get immediate reports about our trips. Thank you so much for your partnership and interest in us. We stand amazed at God’s grace and rejoice to join you “shoulder to shoulder” in helping change the world,
Jay and Laurie Lorenzen
