"Missions month" celebrates the potential to send missionaries from Tech

Crossroads is a movement that originated from the vision of man named Bill Bright at UCLA back in 1951. They believed that the college campuses possessed untapped resources for changing the world. The motto became "win the campus today, the world tomorrow."

Today Crossroads at Georgia Tech is fulfilling this motto. By God's grace we are seeing our campus won to the amazing love of God in Christ and students are being sent out all over the world to win still more to be followers of Jesus Christ.

We celebrated this recently through a series at our weekly meetings the students called "Missions Month."

Each week a student shared their heart and experiences going to an international mission field. The first week Darin shared why he is planning to go to Bosnia. "I am going to Bosnia because I know it is part of God's plan for his glory to have worshippers from every people group in the world." He is burdened by how few in Bosnia currently know Christ.

A special highlight of "Missions Month" was guest appearances of Georgia Tech Alumni who now serve as missionaries in strategic places in the world. Ben Jackson (IE '03) shared about his calling to take his wife and young children to Bosnia long term. He will join GT grads Josh Irby (IE '99), Jonathan and Ashley Trousdale (forgot their degrees - '01?).

Finally, we had a moving talk one night from John G.(IM '95). John has served in various capacities as a missionary and movement leader in East Asia. He challenged us and inspired us with stories of how the gospel is reaching thousands and changing the society where he serves.

The bottom line of "Missions Month" is that Georgia Tech is wonderful training ground for missionaries. Every year we have seen talented young men and women raised up to lead missions efforts both short and long term. Our focus on Bosnia is yielding lasting fruit. All this energizes what we do on campus day to day at Georgia Tech.
