Rob and Breanna work with college students on the campus of GVSU and other campuses around Grand Rapids and West Michigan with Cru. We have two little boys: Jude (2) and our newborn, Kai. We love getting to grow our family and work with students at the same time. Previously, we worked with high school students as public high school science teachers for five years. During this time we also led a college ministry at our church with students at Notre Dame and Bethel University. After discerning a call with each other and those close to us, we transitioned into fulltime ministry with Cru and moved to Grand Rapids. Rob is also currently working on a Master's of Divinity from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary and on the leadership team at their local church helping with preaching and discipleship initiatives. We value local church membership and involvement both in our lives for worship and community and in the lives of our students in our ministry. The local church is where students will have community, worship God, serve, and grow for the rest of their lives, so helping them engage in that now is of vital importance!
There is nothing more that we want to give our lives to than reaching and equipping people for God.

Why Students?
Why Students?
We truly believe that there is tremendous competition for the hearts and minds of college students. College students are in one of the most unique times of their lives. They are making decisions on their own, thinking deeply about life, and ready to impact the world around them. What a time to love and equip them for Christ! We worked with high school students for five years after college as public high school teachers and now working with college students, it's become clear: God has given us a deep desire to see students developed into mature Christ followers.

"When he (Jesus) saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:36-38
We believe that the college campuses are one of the largest "fields" in the world. The "crowds" truly are on college campuses today. Students are harassed and helpless by many forces. The workers are few. When we see students, we really do feel a deep compassion and love for them.
