Isaac Whitman – Acting Director / Campus Missionary

Isaac first got involved at Christian Challenge as a freshman in 2016. Isaac joined the leadership team and helped lead life groups and worship. Then, through serving and being discipled, God gave him a desire to make disciples rather than pursuing a career in Wildlife Management. This led to him interning at Christian Challenge under Paul Damery from 2020-2024 and beginning work on a Masters of Divinity at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. When Paul left in the summer of 2024, Isaac took over as the campus missionary.

Isaac married Juliana on August 10th, 2024. While they first met at church, they really got to know each other when she started coming to Christian Challenge. They both love the outdoors, coffee and adventures and are excited to lead many adventures and trips with the college students.

The Challenge House is located right across from the main entrance to MWSU on Mitchell Ave.: 4534 Mitchell Ave, Saint Joseph, MO 64507.

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. – 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 (ESV)
