 Rick James
Rick is the author of "Jesus Without Religion"(Intervarsity Press, 2007) and co-authored "Porn Nation"(Moody Press, 2007) with Michael Leahy. He is a graduate of Syracuse University, and received his Master of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Seminary.
After graduating from college, Rick was the art director for Young & Rubicam in New York City.

He is writer, campus speaker, and currently serves as the Publisher of CruPress creating ministry resources which reach hundreds of thousands of students throughout the United States.
 Milton Massie
Milton knew at an early ago that God was calling him into full-time ministry. He became an hourly staff at the Agape Community Center (an inner-city ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ) in 1980 and has served there ever since. He met Cynthia in 1982 and they were married in 1984. He graduated from Chicago State University in 1985 with a degree in Business Administration.
Milton and Cynthia joined full time staff with Campus Crusade in 1986. Currently, Milton serves as the City Director for Here’s Life Inner-City/Chicago (the compassionate urban ministry of Campus Crusade). He serves a team of 9 full-time staff in Chicago and as a Regional Director for two other cities. Milton helps give national direction for Here’s Life Inner-City and speaks in various settings on behalf of the ministry.
In 1999, Milton helped to plant a church that currently meets at the Agape Community Center. He serves as one of the Elders of New Hope Fellowship, and teaches the adult Men’s Sunday school class. Milton has a passion to see people grow in their faith and especially enjoys small groups and one-to-one discipleship. He meets regularly with four young men and is currently serving church and ministry leaders through exposing them to training in discipleship in the urban context.
He sees himself as a bridge in three specific areas: to help the church live out God’s heart for the poor; to help the church live out God’s heart for believers to mature in their faith via establishing discipleship in the church as ministry rather than a program; and to challenge the Body of Christ to be intentional about building cross-cultural relationships to help promote biblical unity.
 Greg and Charmaine Lillestrand
Greg and Charmaine have a passion for Jesus and the students of the world. They believe there is only one way to live the Christian life – 100%. Don’t miss out! He has a ride for your life you cannot even imagine. Surrender all, give your dreams and desires to Him…, then get ready to hang on!
They began their staff career at the University of Texas, and then led the ministry at Baylor and UC Berkeley. At that point they felt God giving them a clear vision for the students of the world and they led the charge to develop the campus ministry for the 15 nations of the former Soviet Union. After returning from abroad, they joined the US Campus Ministry National Team, where they led the Worldwide Student Network for 9 years. During that time they helped develop 360 new campus ministries in 67 countries.
Greg and Charmaine are currently serving as national directors for the country of Italy – seeking to figure out how do you build movements in 21st century Europe. They have loved engaging with students in over 30 nations around the world. They have lived in Yugoslavia, Russia, and currently live in Italy with their two awesome kids, Ryan and Sophia.
