About Us

Josh McDowell Ministry exists to serve and to equip the Body of Christ in raising generations of purpose-driven Christians who know what they believe, why it is true, and how to live out their Christian faith. Through live events, ministry resources and electronic media and training, Josh McDowell Ministry seeks to share the essentials of the Christian faith in everyday language so that the global Body of Christ and individuals of all ages within the Church are equipped for the life of faith and the work of ministry.

As an agnostic college student, Josh McDowell believed that Christianity was worthless. But a group of Christians challenged him to examine the claims of Christianity on an intellectual basis. Instead of succeeding in discrediting the truth of Christianity, Josh discovered compelling historical evidence for the reliability of the Christian faith. As a result, Josh accepted Christ as his personal Savior and Lord, and he found his life changed through God’s love and grace.

Soon after this life-transforming experience, Josh joined the staff of Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, Int’l.) and established the Josh McDowell Ministry, a division of Cru, headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Since 1964, the Josh McDowell Ministry has been devoted to offering evidence for the God “who is passionate about a personal relationship with each person.”

Our unique calling as a ministry has been to come alongside the Body of Christ with evidences for:

• the deity of Christ,
• the reliability of Scripture, and
• the historical fact of the resurrection in the context of the current culture to bring people into a vital, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

Faith based on truth leads people to experience the certainty of God in loving relationship with Him. Believers who live confidently in the love of God and who are transformed by the renewing of their minds are motivated to live out their faith in practical ways.
