After students came back from the New York City missions trip I was reminded of the impact that comes through serving others. Jesus intentionally took time to serve others when He saw people in need and we should do the same. Sometimes we can get so caught up in planning our large group meetings and social events that we forget to organize service projects.
Chris Zeigler and his wife, Cheryl, have been working with BASIC full-time since 2009 and have helped start BASIC groups in the Rochester, NY area at SUNY Geneseo, Monroe Community College, and the University of Rochester. They use their experience from starting groups and traveling to the nearly 30 BASIC ministries to consult and advise churches looking to start new BASIC groups outside of the Rochester area. He and his wife live with their daughter, Melia, in Lima, NY.
