Jamie Lam

EPIC STAFF

Aloha and welcome to my page! I hope you find encouragement as you read this and more than anything see and hear of the Lord's goodness and faithfulness! I currently live in Southern California with my two goldendoodles, Remy and Charley, love all things sports, Disney, and my greatest joy in life is being a foster mama.
I joined staff in 2009 with Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ), and have served with Epic, ministering and empowering Asian American students and faculty on a variety of levels both locally and nationally. As a staff member with Epic/Cru, I have the privilege of WINning others to Christ as I give students the opportunity to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus. I have the opportunity to BUILD, as I shepherd staff and students in their walk with the Lord. Two of the ways this happens is through discipleship and/or evangelism. I also have the joy and privilege of SENDing, as students, and myself, attend conferences and participate in summer missions or vision trips. I love being a part of bringing the Gospel to the world!

Gabby Cossio

DESTINO

Hello!
My name is Gabriela (Gaby) Cossio, I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona in 2013 with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. I grew up in a Christian home but realized in high school that I had more of a relationship with the church than with God. My involvement with Cru and Destino as a student allowed me to grow in my faith and equipped me to share the gospel with students.
After I graduated, I interned for 2 years in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico and now there is a ministry led by some of the students I met during those years. When I returned, I joined the South Los Angeles Destino Team and have been with them since 2016.

Kaela Fischer

Cru

Hello! Welcome to my page!
In June 2021, I graduated from UC Davis with a BS in Human Development, minoring in Education and Spanish. Right before I graduated, God called me to intern for Cru at UC Davis for two years. It brings me so much joy thinking of what God has done at Davis and how much I have grown.
Now that my intern years are over, I'd like to share that I'm joining staff with Cru in North Orange County! Once I am done raising support I can start doing ministry on campus with students from Fullerton, Whittier, and Biola! Although I will miss Davis I'm excited about this new adventure!
Thank you for your support!
