When Erin and Ellie moved into their tiny dorm room at Purdue University, they were strangers. But within weeks, they became best friends. Ellie, a missionary kid from Argentina, started attending The Chapel, a church plant led by Jordan and Jessamy Adams. Erin, who’d never been to church before, tagged along one Sunday and heard the gospel for the first time.
That day changed everything. Erin realized Jesus loved her deeply, despite her brokenness. “Now, I’m a child of God,” she says.
The Adamses moved to West Lafayette in 2023 with a team of nearly 50 to launch The Chapel and a college ministry called The Salt Company. In their first year, they baptized 81 people. At Purdue, where life is highly relational, gospel conversations spread fast—and lives are being transformed.
Your Cooperative Program gifts help send church planters like the Adamses to places where students like Erin are discovering Jesus for the first time.
Pray for more students at Purdue to hear the gospel, trust Christ, and become disciple-makers on their campus.
