Ministry Focus
Christian served with Campus Ambassadors as a student leader for about a year before becoming an intern with Missions Door in April of 2026. He has learned valuable leadership skills and helped in leading discipleship groups as well as teaching at large group events. Christian's goal is to disciple students at Western Oregon University and help equip them to also disciple other students on campus.
Faith Story
Christian did not grow up in a religious household and started using drugs around the eighth grade until about 7 years later, when he gave his life to Jesus. He explored new age spirituality in high school during COVID and other ideologies, but they were never truly fulfilling. Christian started exploring Christianity after a near-death experience, but didn't know what it meant to truly live his life for Jesus until he came to college and found out about Campus Ambassadors through his friend. He started attending many bible studies and was also meeting with a staff member who played a big part in discipling Christian. After learning the gospel and who Jesus truly was, Christian gave his life to the Lord and has been serving with Campus Ambassadors since then.
Education
Christian is attending Western Oregon University to become an athletic trainer and is currently getting his bachelor's degree in Exercise Science.
