Danny & Meredith Myers
About Danny:
- E-Mail: dmyers@campusoutreach.org
- Birthday: March 12, 1986
- Hometown: Marietta, GA
- Degree: B.S. in Middle Grade Education, Georgia Southern
- Interests: Sports, Coffee, Reading, connecting with friends from college
- Favorite Books: The Gospel and Personal Evangelism, Salvation Belongs to the LORD
- Favorite Verse: Acts 20:24
- Testimony: I grew up in a Christian home but there wasn’t a heart change. I could say and do the right things but there was no difference in my heart. When I got into high school I began following the wrong crowd and getting involved with the wrong things. On the outside everything looked good because I was succeeding in every area of life that looks good, but on the inside I was lonely and empty. When I went to Georgia Southern I met a guy playing flag football who shared the gospel with me. I studied the Bible with him for about 5 months. At the Christmas Conference that Campus Outreach puts on each year I heard a talk dealing with the life of a Christian. The point was you could be assured of your salvation by the things that are in your heart. I then saw very clearly how I had been living for myself and not the LORD. I became a Christian in December of 2004 and since then have been asking the LORD to show me daily what it looks like to live for Christ and make Him known!
About Meredith:
- E-Mail:mmyers@campusoutreach.org
- Birthday:October 27, 1986
- Hometown: Kennesaw, GA
- Degree: English Literature & Philosophy

- Personal Mission Statement: To know God & make Him known.
- Favorite Verse: John 10:10
- Testimony: I became a Christian at a young age after watching the way my dad met with the Lord & hearing about who Jesus is at church. I knew that I was sinful & did wrong things & I learned at home that there was a God who loved me & created me. At church I learned that Jesus was God in flesh & God’s son & that he was offered as a sacrifice for my sins. I started asking my dad a lot of questions about what it means to have a relationship with God & I remember watching him read the Bible & trying to read it for myself. My understanding of the Gospel was very simple, but God made it clear to me that it was truth & I surrendered my life to Him as a child. I have learned over the years that I need the Gospel everyday, not just on the first day I believed it. I thank God for the ”depth of the riches of the wisdom & knowledge of God” & even more that ”we have the mind of Christ” through Jesus’ life, death & resurrection (Rom. 11:33, 1 Cor. 2:16).
Jonathan & Kristina Herriman
About Jonathan:
- E-Mail: jherriman@campusoutreach.org
- Birthday: August 24
- Hometown: Harlem, Ga
- Degree: Communication Studies, Augusta State
- Interests: Sports, Kristina Herriman, Nutrition and Dieting
- Favorite Books: The Great Gatsby, Daws, Desiring God, Thank You for Arguing, Master Plan of Evangelism
- Personal Mission Statement: Glorify God by building laborers in my sphere of influence for the sake of all nations
- Favorite Verse: Galatians 2:16 – yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
- Testimony: I grew up in a Christian home, and learned a lot about God, but I was numb toward him. I was consumed with glorifying myself through being good at baseball, school, and having friends. I saw God as a means to these ends so I would pray and be good because I thought He’d give me these things if I wasn’t too bad. God opened my eyes to see that He is truly more glorious than all these things sometime around my Sophomore year of college. As I understood by sin, and God’s holiness, I knew I could never be good enough to please him; therefore, I had to trust in Jesus, and His work on the cross for my salvation and standing before God. The whole direction of my life has since changed, and I have been striving to know him more, and make him known to people around me.

- Personal Mission Statement: Glorify God through the power of the spirit in the sphere of influence God has placed me in order to complete the task of testifying to God’s Grace in the world!
- Favorite Verse: Psalm 73: 26 – My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
- Testimony: I gave my life fully to Christ when I was a freshman in College. I was at a Christian Conference in Atlanta in 2007 and there realized the depth of the gospel. I had previously been living for the approval and acceptance of the people around me. The Lord showed me that he desired to set me free from the things I was living for and that they were in fact enslaving me and he was the only thing that could not only set me free from them but also show me ultimate acceptance in Him. I believe in that moment Christ changed my heart and I desired to know and love Him more. Over the next few years in college the Lord grew my love for His word and for the lost people in the world and even on my campus through the ministry of Campus Outreach. I began sharing the message of God’s unfailing grace with the women in my sorority, and now the Lord has continued to burden my heart for the college campus as I am on staff with Campus Outreach.
