Phil & Julie Gillespie

Campus Crusade for Christ, Michigan State

Julie and Phil are convinced their outreach to the youth on campus is a worthy investment of their time. As students, it was through Campus Crusade for Christ that they learned what it meant to serve the Lord and received the training necessary to serve in this full-time ministry. After their marriage, they took the position of staffing the outreach at the University of Michigan where they served for 7 years. In 2000, Phil and Julie moved to Michigan State University to become the directors of Athletes in Action, the athletic ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. They have four children- Nathan, Rachel, Jack, and Rebecca.

Jesus said in Luke 10:2, “The harvest is plentiful…” and in no place is that more evident than on the college campus. Students come to Michigan State University from all over the country and the world. Unfortunately, while they are on campus, there is a lack of a clear, relevant witness for Jesus Christ with an abundance of influences driving them further away the truth and God.

The campus (tomorrow’s leaders) is in desperate need for role models embracing a life of significance and purpose. Using the universal language of sports, Phil and Julie are exposing students to the claims of Jesus Christ, winning them to faith in Him, building them in their faith (discipling and training), and sending them to win and disciple others on campus and around the world.
