Reaching the lost at Illinois State University.

Hello! Our names are Adam & Jacalyn Wierenga.

Just like we once were, many students at Illinois State University don't know God, and need someone to meet them where they are and share the good news of Jesus Christ with them.

We became missionaries to reach Illinois State University with the Gospel, and we would love to meet you and share how you can be a part of it!

Illinois State University Needs the Gospel

Life without Jesus offers no hope and no safety. In many ways, not knowing Jesus is like being lost and alone at sea. We became missionaries to reach Illinois State University with the life saving hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Dear Friend,

We are Adam and Jacalyn Wierenga, and we are reaching out to share an exciting opportunity with you. As former students of Illinois State University, we experienced firsthand the profound impact that the Gospel of Jesus Christ can have on a college student’s life. Now, we are embarking on a mission to extend that same hope and transformation to the current students at ISU.

Why we do it...

During our time at Illinois State, we were deeply moved by the support and outreach of dedicated missionaries. Their presence and message played a pivotal role in our spiritual journey, leading us to commit ourselves to the same cause. This has inspired us to return as missionaries with a vision to meet students where they are and introduce them to the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.

Our mission

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to reach out to college students, offering them the Gospel and the support they need to navigate their challenging academic and personal lives. We believe that by providing them with a community grounded in faith, we can help them find purpose and direction.

We invite you to join us in this important work and would love the opportunity to meet you, share more about our vision, and discuss how you can contribute to this mission. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of many students at Illinois State University.

Thank you for considering joining us in this vital work. We look forward to the possibility of working together to bring hope and transformation to college students through the power of Jesus Christ.

Warm regards,

Adam and Jacalyn Wierenga

P.S. When you are ready, you we want to schedule a brief call together to get to know each other.
