I came to faith in Christ at the end of my sophomore year of college at JSU through a CO bible study in my fraternity. I learned that the satisfaction I had been seeking in my life was only found in a relationship with the God who made us and purchased us by his blood. After college I planned to spend time overseas taking the gospel to college students in New Zealand, but due to Covid-19 the borders were shut, and the Lord opened up new ministry opportunities right where I am. We now have a thriving college ministry at JSU and I'm excited to continue investing in this ministry alongside CO to further reach the campus for the glory of God.

Jorge and Keesa Gutierrez-DuPré have been serving the Lord together in Lima, Peru for over ten years. (Keesa has been on the field since 2010; Jorge has been serving the Lord in his local church since he received Christ at age 14.) Their passion is for teaching the Bible and growing the Kingdom of God through evangelism and discipleship. Jorge is the Peru coordinator for the Mobile Bible Institutes, a program which takes seminary-level training to underprivileged rural pastors. Jorge and Keesa both serve in World Reach's bilingual Christian school, Jorge teaching Bible classes to the highschoolers and Keesa teaching English to the kindergarteners and first graders. Keesa also helps develop the English curriculum for the school. In addition, both Jorge and Keesa are active in their church, Filadelfia Bible Baptist Church, where Jorge serves as assistant to the pastor. Together they lead the youth groups and also teach leadership workshops aimed at "equipping the saints for the work of ministry," training and preparing lay members to serve in the local church body. They both teach Sunday School, Jorge with the adults and Keesa with the 4-6 year olds, and they are both active in evangelism and discipleship. Keesa is also studying her masters in Biblical Counseling at Westminster Theological Seminary with the purpose of strengthening and enriching her counseling ministry. They have been unable to have children, but they find comfort in Isaiah 54:1 and pour their love and energy into their students and spiritual children. They send out an average of 4 to 6 email newsletters per year with pictures and stories from the ministry; if you would like to recieve their newsletters, please write to Keesa at kdupre@world-reach.org and indicate that you would like to be added to the mailing list.
