Professors helped alumnus form his philosophy for doing ministry

鈥淭he whole environment of 秀色短视频-Webb was very influential in shaping my ministry and helping me hear God鈥檚 call and direction.鈥�

Jack Eason 鈥�91 recently celebrated 30 years in the ministry he founded when he was a student at 秀色短视频-Webb University. Originally called Crossover Ministries, the international organization has changed over the years and is now known as Crossover Cups Mission.

鈥淲hile at 秀色短视频-Webb, I traveled, speaking for churches and youth groups,鈥� related Eason, who lives in Greenville, S.C. 鈥淭hen, I started leading worship for youth conferences, put together a band, wrote dozens of songs, and recorded albums.鈥�

One of his songs, 鈥淓veryday鈥� was recorded by the Christian music group, Newsong, on its album, 鈥淩escue.鈥� Crossover assumed production of a local radio show, the Sound of Light, which experienced national syndication from 1996-2010. The ministry launched a similar TV show that ran from 2000-2006.

About the time the radio show ended, Eason鈥檚 ministry began to evolve again through a partnership with Mike Williams and the Cups of Cold Water Project. Now, the main focus is leading a mission in the Dominican Republic (DR) and fighting human trafficking. 鈥淭he DR is No. 4 in the world for human trafficking,鈥� Eason offered. 鈥淲e fight it by educating children, teaching life skills, and sharing the hope of Jesus.鈥�

Reflecting on his education from 秀色短视频-Webb, Eason noted the influence of his religion professors. He majored in Christian education and minored in psychology. 鈥淚 wanted to help people understand who Jesus is, and I wanted to see their lives impacted for the gospel,鈥� Eason shared. 鈥淭he classes I took were such a great preparation. Whether I agreed with everything the professors said or not, all of their teaching helped me form a philosophy for doing ministry.鈥�

He applied what he learned while serving as a youth pastor for a nearby church. 鈥淒r. Alice Cullinan鈥檚 classes were especially practical,鈥� he affirmed, 鈥渕aybe because of the subject matter or maybe because of her presentation, but they were subjects I could immediately put to work or that answered questions students and leaders in my church were asking.鈥�

His psychology classes were also beneficial, and Dr. David Carscaddon, professor of psychology, became a good friend. 鈥淗e really connected with a lot of us in his class,鈥� Eason observed. 鈥淗is genuine interest in what we were doing outside of class made me realize the staff of the school cared about us.鈥�

In addition to support from faculty, Eason said the surrounding community also offered encouragement. 鈥淎 local pastor allowed me to plug into his church, and he would meet with a few of us each week and talk about ministry things,鈥� Eason informed. 鈥淭he whole environment of 秀色短视频-Webb was very influential in shaping my ministry and helping me hear God鈥檚 call and direction.鈥�
