  • Paul Worcester
    National Collegiate Director, North American Mission Board

    In 2009 Paul and his wife Christy planted Christian Challenge at California State University, Chico from scratch. Since then, they saw a movement of God with over 1,000 college students indicating decisions to become followers of Jesus, with many growing as disciples and learning to multiply their faith. 

    Paul recently took on the role as the National Collegiate Director for the North American Mission Board where he focuses on encouraging, inspiring and equipping collegiate leaders on 900+ college ministries across North America. 

    Paul is the author of "Tips for Starting a College Ministry", “Do More With Less Time”, "5 Leadership Principles for Collegiate Ministry" and “The Fuel and The Flame: Igniting Your College Campus For Jesus Christ” with Steve Shadrach. Paul has degrees from University of Oklahoma and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Paul and Christy have two children Owen and Evelyn that he loves to surf and skate with whenever he has the chance. They live on the North Shore of Oahu where they lead a discipleship school for college-aged young adults.

    A few years ago, I had the realization that sales, especially medical sales, and being a laborer for Christ has many of the same job descriptions. Medical sales people spend days and weeks in training learning how to connect with doctors and nurses more effectively, how to better present their product, and how to become more efficient with the limited amount of time they have with doctors as they walk the halls of hospitals! If the world is putting in this much effort for a product that cares for physical needs, how much more effort should we put into something that takes care of their eternity!
