Reid - COM REgional Director

Nikki - COM Womens’ Director

Reid and Nikki Jilek

We met as sophomores at the University of Northwestern, where I (Reid) played football and Nikki played soccer. Being fall athletes, we were always around one another and hit it off right away. Okay, it was way more complicated than that, but a great story. We were married in 2011 and have two children, Eden and Asher. We serve as the directors over Campus Outreach Minneapolis. Reid as the regional director, overseeing all staff, and Nikki shepherding the women as the womens’ director.

We both were impacted in college through Campus Outreach and saw firsthand how much believing in the gospel of Jesus Christ changes everything. Studying biology, and Nikki studying marketing–graphic design, we felt a pull on our hearts to change our vocational direction to making Christ known to college students in the same way others had done for us. Discipleship is needed, and college is the perfect time when students start asking the question, "what do I believe and why do I believe that?" We love seeing the power of God at work in student's lives in the Twin Cities and getting a front-row seat to see hearts move from death to life.
