Craig and Jake both grew up in Sacramento, California. They were impacted strongly by their youth pastor to continue in the ministry. First, it started at the tennis courts, moved to discipleship and prayer time, then to a ministry focusing on saving lives for Christ. Through these experiences they have created a set of programs that reenact their own experiences in life. They play themselves going through real live situations. They feel that through their years of friendship and growth in Christ, they have something to give your students ... the Gospel!
