Hi! My name is Krista Gruber, and I am preparing to serve in Rochester, New York through both BASIC College Ministries (Brothers and Sisters in Christ) and New Testament Christian Church (NTCC). God has placed a deep burden on my heart for this generation, especially college students, and I am honored to step into this season of ministry and discipleship.

Through BASIC, I will be traveling to different college campuses throughout the year, preaching the Gospel, teaching training seminars on evangelism and discipleship, and helping students practically live out their faith on campus. I will also be leading an online discipleship and leadership program called Leader Labs, where we will equip and encourage students to become strong Christian leaders at their colleges through weekly Bible-based teachings and discipleship. My heart is to see students not only encounter Jesus personally, but also become bold and effective in reaching others with the Gospel.

I feel especially called to college ministry because my own life was radically transformed by Christ during my college years. I know firsthand how pivotal that season of life can be. Studies continue to show a major decline in students continuing in their faith throughout their college years, and many students are searching for truth, purpose, and identity. God has given me a passion to meet students in that moment and point them to the hope and life found in Jesus Christ.

Alongside campus ministry, I will also have the opportunity to serve at New Testament Christian Church in Rochester and pour into the local community there. I am excited to serve wherever needed, whether through social media ministry, outreach, supporting church events, or simply helping meet practical needs within the church body. I strongly believe the local church is God’s plan to bring revival, healing, and transformation to communities, and I am grateful to be part of what He is doing through NTCC.

As I step into this ministry season, I would be incredibly grateful for both your prayers and financial support. Your partnership will help cover living expenses, ministry travel, and supplies needed throughout the year. More than anything, I ask that you pray for open hearts on college campuses, boldness to share the Gospel, and lives to be transformed by the power of Jesus.

Thank you for believing in what God is doing and for being part of this mission with me.

Krista
