The Navigators - Andreas Russell

Andreas is the National Campus Director for Navigators Canada. 

The Navigators mission it is to mentor students into a deeper connection with Jesus and equip them to do the same with their friends. 

Below are the latest updates on this important ministry. 


March, 2025

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the University of Saskatchewan.nav1

"The best resource I have to love others is my time," said Kaden* during a discussion I led on Loving and Serving Others in Jesus' Name. Kaden, a first-year student, was struck by the realization that we all have something we can use to love those around us, and for him, that something is his time.

I was impressed – I had not heard it framed that way. He continued, saying that his action step was to start getting to know those who sit alone in the campus cafeteria. What an awesome take-away!

Later that evening, James* came up to me sharing how much he has been inspired to love those around him. He then said, "This is the year I've fully given my life to God and just want to live like Jesus." I asked him what that looked like, and he said he just wants to keep reading and applying what Jesus did and taught! To do so, he recently asked a friend if she would start reading the Bible with him daily. And they have – for the past three months they have read a chapter of the Gospels every day. "I can't wait for this time," he shared with so much joy!

Kaden and James highlight exactly what I hope for all our students within the Navigators: that they live like Jesus!

Would you pray for Kaden and James, as well as the many other students across Canada who are trying to live like Jesus on their campuses? Would you pray that they would love those around them well and that God would open opportunities to read the Scriptures with their friends?

Looking Ahead

At the end of April, I have the privilege of directing our national student gathering called Basecamp, where students from all across the country gather to connect with each other, have fun, and grow their faith. Would you pray that many would come and that God would use this time to inspire and equip more students to live like Jesus?

Thank you for your continued prayers and support of our campus ministry. Your partnership makes these transformative student encounters possible!
