Give Know God Personally Ministry Updates Discipleship

“So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:8-10

Who I am

Hi, my name is Mariah Drew, and I am a Part Time Field Staff at Lindenwood University!

While I was in my sophomore year of college, the Lord gave me a heart for ministry through discipling my roommate, a couple girls in my hall, and the members of the dance team I was a part of. Witnessing my college friends surrender their lives to Christ stirred me to move back home to pursue ministry with Cru. Now, it is one of my greatest joys to live out the Great Commission by sharing the Gospel with college students and showing them the love of Jesus Christ.

Aside from ministry, I enjoy running my painting small business, teaching dance, hiking, cooking with my husband, and playing with my two kittens!

Mission

College is a time when students are building a foundation for themselves not only educationally and vocationally, but also spiritually; they are trying to find who they are and what their life is going to be about. This foundation is something that will guide them for the rest of their lives. For that reason, I’m passionate about making Jesus Christ known on college campuses so that students can experience lasting life change and encounter the joy, freedom, and hope that comes from having an intimate relationship with Him.

Vision

Our goal is that students will learn the joy of walking with Jesus and be sent out upon graduation as Christ-centered laborers wherever they go, in whatever vocation they choose. We do this by winning students to Christ, building them up in their faith, and sending them out to the world. Imagine how the world could change if missionaries were sent all over the country and all over the world into the most influential sectors of society every year!

Will you join me?

I can invest my life into people because others invest in me!

This is not just an appeal for funding, rather an invitation to a Kingdom investment. There is no greater feeling than knowing that you are directly contributing toward leading someone to Christ. When I sit across from a student and share the Gospel with them, I have the confidence of knowing that I’m not alone. People like you faithfully partner with me through prayer, volunteering, and financial giving so that we can reach students together!
