Boston in the fall is wonderful, and shooting photos of friends makes it even better. Jess, a friend from college, coaxed me (Jon) to drive up with the promise of seeing gorgeous trees and cuddling with her rescue dog, Bear. These three Bostonians grew up at the same church and share a love of travel, good coffee, and the skill of talking to absolute strangers. They also have the same job: they’re all on staff with the Epic Movement (epicmovement.com), a ministry of Cru, and love engaging with people in spiritual discussions.

Jess and Bear are headed to Irvine, Cali. to work with and care for students whenever they have questions and want to know more about God.

 

Chris will also be moving west to San Francisco, Cali., to help start up a new team and make Epic available to university students in that city.

 Jeff will be living in New York City.  There, he’ll join a team of people reaching out to students, praying and caring for the largest city in our nation.

The reason these three are in Boston right now is because they are inviting people to be ministry partners. As missionaries, they each have teams of people who support them through prayer and finances. If you’re interested about their thoughts on God, want to meet up when they move near you, or want to support them, here are their individual links:

Bear, Jess, Chris and Jeff: it was great spending time with you all! I’m humbled by your commitment to full-time ministry, but also encouraged by your huge hearts for others.(credit to Jess for contributing to this blogpost)
