With companies like Tesla and Apple making investments to move operations to Reno, this Nevada city is growing into an even greater target area where the gospel can quickly spread and impact society. Every Nation church planters Bret and Jorie Holman share the story of how they ended up in this city, serving campus students at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR).

After serving with Every Nation for many years and planting our first church in Las Vegas, we moved to Reno, Nevada, to plant a brand new Every Nation church and campus outreach here. We call it ‘All People Christian Church.’

Reno is home to over 500,000 people, and boasts one of the country’s fastest-growing universities, the University of Nevada, Reno (go Wolf Pack!). We are currently the only church in the city that is targeting, as well as meeting on, the university campus here. Besides that, there are only a few campus ministries here trying to reach a school of over 30,000 students. The fields of this city and this campus are truly ripe for harvest.

We brought a group of nineteen students and others to our Every Nation Campus Conference in Corvallis, Oregon, and we already have our first college graduate training to become our full-time campus missionary to UNR. The campus has been a wide-open door of ministry to us so far.

By focusing on engaging, establishing, equipping, and empowering disciples to plant a church and reach a campus, our hope is to make disciples for years to come on this campus and in this city. By God’s grace and with your help, we will see this vision become a reality.

Thank you for standing with us through your invaluable prayers and support. Together, we will reach every nation and every campus!
