SERVE THE COMMUNITY

By focusing on our partners and their needs, we feel we can have a greater impact on the Kingdom of God in the High Country. Through the support of partners and member missionaries, Alliance truly sees local missions as an opportunity to strengthen and encourage those serving in our community.

Local Community Partnerships:

Damon & Emily Harris | CRU

Damon and Emily are on staff with Cru at App State, focusing on meeting with students for discipleship, leading Bible studies, and doing evangelism on campus. Their goal is to connect students to Christ and cast vision for the nations.

Before COVID/coming to Boone, they served with Cru overseas. They feel called to be overseas and hope to return at some point to focus on church planting. Currently both Damon and Emily are in seminary at RTS for further training.

Jessica Lup | Appalachian Internation Ministry (AIM)

Jessica Lup, founder and director of AIM, has worked in campus ministry at ASU since 2012. Throughout her years on campus she became aware of the need for a Christian outreach fully devoted to caring for the international community at ASU with the love of Christ. AIM was born out of realizing God’s call on her life to college ministry, combined with her heart for the nations and her passion for the outdoors and God’s Word. A vision developed in which students from many nations would come to know the one true and living God and worship Him (Revelation 7:9).
