Adam & Tracy Simpson - #3006

New Mexico Directors

Adam and Tracy came to know Jesus through Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) while they were students at New Mexico State University. The love and grace of God transformed them and compelled them to join the Lord in His work to reach fellow students with the good news of Jesus. After graduating, they joined the staff of Cru and worked with college students all over the world for 18 years.

They are passionate about Jesus, His gospel, and helping people live in His truth. Another passion of theirs is the outdoors – God’s incredible creation – where the Lord has taught them many things about who He is and who we are to Him. They love combining these passions to help others know and experience Jesus! Currently, they are directing the New Mexico Thrive ministry that is reaching out to the local community with the good news of Jesus as well as providing local and International outdoor adventures as ministry trips for surrounding churches.
