 Luke and Lindsay Greer
We have been missionaries to Latin America since 2002 and joined Impacto
Latino’s Pachuca Project in 2008. Currently, we serve in the Jubilee church
plant — one of several plants in the Metro Pachuca area, where we are part of
the family cell (small group) ministry. Also, we serve with developing
outreaches in a new area of Pachuca called “Providencia" and with the
development and training for the Cell Pastors in the Jubilee church
plant.
We recently had the chance to visit family and churches in for a couple of
weeks in the US. During our stay, we visited the Men's Bible Study class at New
Hope where we got to share a little about the ministry in Pachuca -- a city of
about 1.5 million people. We also talked about the possibility of the Men's
group coming down and doing some much-needed work projects. We hope they're able
to make it!
Our family visit went great too. It's always good to spend time at
"Grammy's House" even if Scott lives there (just kidding). We got to see Luke's
brother and sister-in-law, and we were able to spend time with Luke's sister
Rachel and her family, who are also missionaries supported by New Hope. It was a
terrific visit, and as always, too short.
We know that we're relatively new to the New Hope family of missionaries,
so we want to invite you to get to know us a little better. Check out our
mission's website to find out more about Pachuca and the ministry there. You can
even sign-up for our e-updates. We send one out about once a month. Most of all,
please keep us in your prayers. God's doing some incredible work in Pachuca!

Generation to generation started to evolve about 14 years ago. Our journey has been one of saying “yes” and seeing what amazing doors would open to us! We never planned or dreamed of starting a ministry, but we simply said Yes to requests as they came in.
Since then we have traveled to North and South America, Asia,
Africa, Australia and Europe, staying true to our mission statement:
“Reconnecting the generations and equipping them to have an uncompromising passion for Jesus with a heart for mission and evangelism.”
Our heart is for unreached and persecuted nations encouraging, inspiring, training and resourcing their leaders as they raise the next generation in conditions that we never imagined. We are an empowering ministry that seeks to equip others in their own nation rather than “doing it ourselves.” To this end, we work with astors and leaders wherever possible. Much of this is through conferences, preaching, teaching and consulting.

CrossRoads Missions combines the biblical principles of worship, service and discipleship by being a doorway for churches and individuals seeking ministry opportunities in places they may otherwise have difficulty serving. This goal is accomplished by bringing people of all ages into missions in the United States and foreign fields. These experiences greatly challenge those who participate to consider deeper involvement in ministry in their own communities and throughout the world.
Our family’s involvement in missions was a bit unusual and unexpected. I was very involved with the youth ministry at Raleigh/New Hope Christian Church serving as a deacon from about 1995-2002. I was pursuing a career in advertising, and Cindy was a teacher with Memphis schools. In 2000 Scott Sutherland (the youth minister at the time) was unable to lead the youth on a mission trip to Mexico with CrossRoads Missions. He asked Cindy and me to lead the trip. After returning I expected life to continue as usual. God had another plan. I found myself unsettled in my normal routine and felt that God was calling me to make a career change. I thought it was into youth ministry. I was half right; I was being led into missions.

Johnson Bible College is associated with the Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ whose heritage is rooted in the Restoration Movement. While the majority of students come from these churches, followers of Christ from many denominations are represented.
Founded in 1893 by Ashley S. Johnson, Johnson Bible College is the second oldest continuing Bible College in the United States and is the oldest Bible College in the United States affiliated with the Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ.
The purpose of JBC is to educate students for specialized Christian ministries with emphasis on the preaching ministry. A secondary purpose is to provide programs in Christian leadership and community service.
Johnson’s beautiful 175 acre campus is located in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains overlooking the French Broad River. The natural beauty combined with the colonial architecture of the college’s modern facilities make for a wonderful setting in which to live and study.
Two of New Hope’s ministers are alumni. Several students from New Hope attend there each year. During the summer our senior adults attend Seniors in the Smokies, a week of worship, study, and fun.
You can learn more about JBC on their website at www.jbc.edu.
