Good evening, friend: I received some very sad news this weekend. Ravi Zacharias, world-renowned apologist and a friend of Chapel Hill, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The only treatment he will receive is palliative. He is returning to his home in Atlanta to share the final lap of his well-run life with his family. […]

Two days—that’s all that separates the latest Chapel Hill GO Team from one of the boldest, most exciting outreaches I think I’ve ever heard of. On Saturday, our team flies down to California to partner with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries for a week of evangelism to students at UC Berkeley. We’ve joked that walking into […]
You know that feeling when you’ve spent enough time around someone for them to show their inner goofball? Turns out our whole team is like that. From the pensive Michael Bouterse to the articulate Ellis White, the community developed on this team is one in which all of us got to show our true colors. […]
It has been a really, really long week. A good one, for sure, but long. Yesterday the crescendo of excitement, attendance, and encounters with Jesus continued to grow. The two lunchtime talks were the best attended of any that I’ve seen this year or last. The questions were honest, and the answers were articulate. I […]
Over the last couple days, we’ve handed out hundreds of fliers, had hours of conversations about some of life’s deepest questions, and encouraged believers all over the campus to keep on keepin’ on. Tuesday was a total blur. From dawn to dusk our team engaged in conversation after conversation, doing our best to represent Jesus […]
Wow. Yesterday things started, big time. We were up at sunrise to leave for Campus Christian Center (C3) and prep for the day. From the moment we got into the cars, it was a whirlwind. Last year on this trip, there was a sense of pushing hard all week to build up the momentum we […]
Hello friends and family! Yesterday was hard. Real hard. We had a home cooked brunch of bacon and eggs, watched the Cougs pull a win in basketball against ASU, did a sunny prayer walk of the campus, and ended the day sharing dinner with a slew of Oxford-caliber speakers after church. Rough. In all reality, yesterday […]
Man, let me tell you, it’s been a whirlwind. We’re out the door by 7:50 AM, and average coming back to the house around 10:30 PM. Aside for a few hours break in the middle of the day, that time is entirely focused on achieving the team mission; to further the kingdom at ASU. We’re […]
Yesterday was a FULL day for us at ASU; as a team we distributed fliers, held up giant sparkly question marks, took surveys on whiteboards (Mine asked if morals or success was more important, Drew’s asked if God existed) and both Eric England (Eric Major) and Ellis each led someone to new life in Christ. […]
Today, a team of six of us are heading to Arizona State University to spend a week working with RZIM and several campus ministries there (such as InterVarsity, Cru, Navigators, Athletes in Action, and YoungLife), sharing Jesus with the students of ASU. Our hope is to create a safe space in which people can explore […]
