  • Personal Mission Statement: To Live for the World to Come
  • Favorite Verse: Hebrews 11:13-16
  • Testimony: Through my high school years, I grew up with a general understanding of the gospel but I simply wanted to live life my own way.  Like a splinter in my soul, I knew that something was not right in my relationships with God, but I didn’t know what.  During my first two years of college, my spiritual life took a back seat to this freedom I now had to experience the world.  Yet, during my sophomore year, the Lord sent a man into my life who challenged me with the discrepancy between what I claimed to believe and how I lived.  As I began to personally study the Bible, I realized that I could live for Christ – or myself – but not both.  At that point, I surrendered my life to Christ and began to experience the joy and freedom of eternal life.  Throughout the remainder of my college years I continued to grow in my love for God, my knowledge of his Word, and my desire to influence others for Christ.  Upon graduation in 1998, I joined the Campus Outreach staff team at Augusta State University where I met Cary Hanks, who would become my wife three years later.  God has blessed us with three children (Susanna, Daniel, Mary Beth) and the privilege of continuing to build laborers on the campus for the lost world.

  • Favorite Verse: Isaiah 55: 1-2
  • Testimony: I grew up in small town South Georgia attending church for as long as I could remember. I knew what was right and what was wrong and strived to be a morally good child, but in 1995 I was introduced to a verse that rocked my teenage mind. Isaiah 64:6 says, “All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.” As I read that verse I became convinced that my best deeds had no chance of getting me into heaven. I had to trust in Christ alone for my salvation, I could no longer trust in my good works. My desire to share my faith led me to college at Georgia Tech and that same faith led me to Georgia College and State University where I got involved in Campus Outreach and came on staff in January of 2004. Since being on staff I have served as Campus Staff, Financial Administrator, Administrator, Campus Director and Area Director, currently I’m serving as Resource Director for CO Augusta and on the Global Executive Director team.

Lindsey Stevens, Regional Women’s Coordinator

  • E-Mail:
  • Birthday: July 14
  • Hometown: Griffin, GA
  • Degree: Business, Finance
  • Interests:  Traveling, playing sports, hiking, and hanging out with friends
  • Favorite Books:  Gospel Primer, Knowing God, Evidence Not Seen, and Transforming Grace
  • Personal Mission Statement:  Glorifying God by seeking to know and love Him above all things and being an agent of redemption in the lives of those around me.
  • Favorite Verse:  “But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.  He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.  It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” ~Jeremiah 17:7-8
  • Testimony:  Growing up going to church was a social event for me.  I began to find significance in being “good”, having friends, and playing sports.  That pattern continued for me into college.  It wasn’t until my junior year in college that I realized there was a big gap between what I thought it meant to be a Christian and actually having a relationship with God.  It was through seeing some of my sorority sisters living out the Christian life that made me question if I had ever truly surrendered my life to Christ.  I became painfully aware that nothing I could do would ever warrant eternal life – not even being “good”.  Freed from that pressure, I turned to Christ to accept the gift of eternal life through trusting in Christ’s life, death, and resurrection as my salvation.
