On August 23rd, I will be biking and praying my way up to the campus of UC Santa Cruz, riding the hills and paths students, faculty, staff, and myself will be walking one month from my ride.
I'm asking you to partner with me in this endeavor.
-
While most of you cannot join me in the phsyical ride, my prayer is that you would consider joining the communion of saints in prayer during the month leading up to August 23rd.
- Pray for the Spirit to move mightily in the coming months, gently yet completely capturing the hearts of college students on campus for the sake of Jesus Christ.
- Pray for our student leaders, that their love of God and heart to see Jesus transform this campus permeates throughout their friendships, interactions, and leadership this year.
- Pray for the church in Santa Cruz to be a faithful witness of the Gospel and a sanctuary of renewal to all who step through our doors in the Fall
-
In addition to praying for the ministry to students at UC Santa Cruz, I'm prayerfully asking you to partner with me in these ministry efforts financiallly. My goal is to raise $7,000 during the month of August for staff funding and monthly ministry expenses. Life and ministry in Santa Cruz relies on partners like you to cast the vision of Jesus Christ transforming lives to campus. I trust God to provide this funding for the ministry - would you consider contributing?
The campaign will run the entire month of August, with concentrated opportunities to contribute one time gifts and invitations to join me in monthly contributions to my ministry account. Whether a commitment to support monthly, or a one-time campaign gift, I thank God for the ways you are investing in college students at UC Santa Cruz!

If you are able, feel free to join me on this ride. We'll begin at 10am on the 23rd, starting in the parking lot of Shrine Coffee, riding up to and through campus, before ending at Humble Sea Brewing Company (Swift location) around lunchtime. Contact me if you're interested in riding along!

Andrew graduated from Hope College in 2019 with a BA in Business, and he is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity degree from Western Theological Seminary.
"College students and young adults find themselves at a crossroads of answering pretty large life questions about their sense of calling, belonging, and place in the world," says Andrew. "The proclamation of the Gospel speaks definitively into those spaces, making campus ministry one of the coolest tangible spaces of God's redemptive work. To know you are loved, called, and sent with purpose into the world is such an empowering and encouraging message to be able to witness to, and I'm thrilled to be able to do it with the CCO."
