Introducing...my new job!

SpreadTruth seeks to actively participate in God's story of redemption through
Gospel Conversion,
Cultural Renewal,
and Social Justice.

Spread Truth is an umbrella organization for 7 other ministries throughout the country. 3 of the main ones I work with are:

NYC Ministries began in 1994, sending student and church groups from across the United States to New York City to minister to the poor. They set up prayer stations on busy street corners and in subway stations, conduct religious questionnaires in local parks, and share their faith with New Yorkers. Currently we are working on a fundraising banquet in South Carolina, winter and spring break NYC trips, and a thanksgiving box hand-out (read more about that in future blog entries).

Intersection is an annual community service project that takes place in both the Bloomington/Normal and Aurora/Naperville areas. Through an entire day of service, love and bettering the community, we seek to find commonality and blur the dividing lines for people of different ages, races, nationalities, and economic class. This service day takes place in April, but we also have year-round projects, including baby-sitting and giving blankets to needy families.

DRL exists for students to become active characters in God's prevailing Story creating a community committed to live by faith, be known by love, and be a voice of hope to all through the message of Jesus Christ. DRL is currently on the campus of Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University.

The main focus of my job right now is working with DRL at IWU. I am working with the leaders to organize missions trips for winter and spring break. I also mentor/disciple many of the female leaders and members of the ministry. DRL was my main extracurricular activity when I went to IWU and I am excited to return and continue working with this ministry.
