You, The Individual – You, Part of the Church Community
Presented by Nate and Jerry Green
Synopsis: Yes, your relationship with Christ depends on your individual decision; however, you can not survive, and grow, and thrive without an intimate connection to the Church as a body. The Church can’t reach its potential until we build the relationships between members as outlined in God’s Word. Let’s look at how God wants us to live together, build each other up, and create an environment that will cause others to demand to know what you have and how they can be a part of it. This is the basis for all service; the Body of Christ - loving each other, accepting one another and encouraging one another.
Bio: Jerry Green and Nate Green are a father and son team that have a passion for Praise and Worship, and building the Church as a Body. Jerry is a Chicago native and retired Air Force fighter pilot who graduated from the Air Force Academy and then spent 20+ amazing years flying the F-16 all over the world. He is currently a Captain for Southwest Airlines and an active part of music and teaching ministries at Palmcroft Baptist Church. Nate is a junior at Southwestern College as a Music Ministries major. He leads worship in Chapel at Southwestern and is a music intern at Palmcroft. He was born in Spain and has traveled three continents over the past three summers. He has given his life for Christ’s service and lives to share His passion.

The Wilder Project by Erik Fish

The Wilder Project
Presented by Erik Fish and the Wilder Project National Team
Synopsis: You and a few of your friends can help make history.
Robert and Grace Wilder were a brother-sister team with a God-sized heart for the nations. While in college, they had prayed for God to move on campuses in a way that would bless the world. In 1887, Robert set out on an adventure with a few of his friends. Traveling on horseback to 162 college campuses, they made friends and inspired other students to answer the call to go to the ends of the earth for Jesus Christ. The fruit of their historic journey demonstrates the power of a God who works alongside the faith and actions of college students. 100,000 students signed the pledge that they were “willing and desirous” to go the foreign mission field. 20,000 went. Tens of thousands stayed home and supported their friends.
We believe the hour has come for a new student mission movement to spring from American campuses to the nations of the world.
Where do you see darkness? Where do you see suffering? What places do you see in the world that make you cry?” Are you willing to do something about it?
Today, we are calling American college students to once again rise to the challenge of tackling the world’s biggest problems with a faith in God and a willingness to volunteer their lives for the cause of Jesus.
To sound this call, we are inviting friends from around the country – students, ministries, and churches – to join together in a united effort to reach every campus in America with a call to prayer, evangelism, and mission. Join us as we share stories from our travels, answer questions, and inspire you and your friends to help make history.
Bio: Erik Fish really, really likes non-Christians. As the National Team Leader for Campus Church Networks, he directs this passion for the lost by training students to plant simple churches among non-Christian communities on college campuses. He also serves on the Campus America team (24-7 Prayer) as the leader of the Wilder Project. He describes the Wilder Project as “a ridiculous plan to mobilize traveling teams to every college campus in America in the next two years, mobilizing prayer, evangelism, and missions.”
Erik and his wife Jen have four children and live in Lawrence, KS where they have been working this last year among Native American students at Haskell University. Email wilder@campusamerica.org for more information.
