Lance Farrell
Assistant Outreach Director- (EMAIL)
Bio:
Lance came on staff full-time in December 2010. He had volunteered and interned with the organization for two years prior. A recent graduate of Somerset Christian College, Lance was planning something completely different upon graduation. In the middle of these plans, however, God put it on his heart to serve the lost, the least, the lonely, the broken, and the homeless in NYC through The Relief Bus. He hasn't looked back.
What I Do With The Relief Bus:
I am on the bus almost every day, leading teams from all over the world, connecting men and women on the streets to vital resources, counseling people, dignifying the broken, and reminding others of their status as sons and daughters before the Master.
Why I Work With The Relief Bus:
I had a professor once tell me that not all paths lead to God, but Jesus will meet you on whatever path you walk. This statement has stuck with me and is my personal battle cry. I try to meet men and women on the street wherever they are in life (addicted, homeless, unemployed, lonely, broken...) and show them the infinite love of Christ.
