“Adam and Christine Jeske were wonderful retreat speakers. They were interactive and engaging in their style, and insightful and thought-provoking in their content. Many people, including me, walked away with some golden nuggets of wisdom that could be applied to our lives. Our community has continued to talk about the new practices they are trying to implement, inspired by their content.”
–Stephanie Spencer, Co-director of The Table at Christ Presbyterian Church (MN)

“Adam Jeske is a voice for global engagement that inspires and challenges students in today’s world… His compelling words, personal experience, and globally-minded lifestyle allow him to move students to a greater passion and commitment to living a life with others in our world in mind as we follow the call and example of Jesus. And his deep knowledge of social media helps students and staff to more effectively invite others to be part of God’s global Kingdom work in new and creative ways. He was a blessing and transformative agent on our campus at Cornerstone University.” –Chip Huber, Dean of Student Engagement _____________________________________________

My wife, Chrissy (author of Into the Mud: Inspiration for Everyday Activists, True Stories of Africa) and I frequently speak together. We tell stories from our years in Nicaragua, China, and South Africa, telling of tractor rides with malaria, baseball princesses, cross-cultural mishaps, crashing motorcycles, bribing border officials, and lessons from our friends in hard places. Themes we often speak on include international poverty, personal risk, microfinance, cross-cultural communication, leadership, and Christian faith. Together, Chrissy and I have written This Ordinary Adventure: Settling Down Without Settling. I also speak on these themes alone, as well as on the effective use of social media for good, for both nonprofits and individuals.
