North Area directors

Lucas and Ariana Cecka

We both went to school at the University of Minnesota and were involved with Campus Outreach for the majority of our time as students. Through life on life discipleship we have grown in our knowledge and desire for Jesus. We were taught how to walk with the Lord daily and during that time, and developed a desire to share the wonderful news of the gospel with others.

The deep and amazing ways that life on life discipleship has changed our lives, has given us an eager desire to disciple others. After getting married in 2013 and working in the workforce for over a year, our desire for discipleship on the college campus has increased even more. In 2014 we transitioned out of the workforce and onto the college campus. We have been evangelizing and making disciples at Bethel University since 2014. We now have two sons, Edwin and Calvin.

Being placed at a private Christian college, we love laboring with Bethel students in helping them know and enjoy Jesus in their mind and in their hearts. We desire for students to treasure Jesus for the first time if they have not before and to grow in seeing their need for the gospel, the need on their campus, and the need in the world to love and enjoy Jesus more.
