About X2J

Our Purpose & Goals

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” – Matthew 9:35-38

After concluding my last sermon at a youth retreat a student approached me and shared the following; “Thanks for speaking at our retreat and taking the time to talk with me last night. But mostly I thank you because I’ve been exposed to Jesus in a way I’ve never known before. I’ve grown up in church all my life but for the first time ever Jesus is real.”

I took that one small phrase “exposed to Jesus” and have allowed God to use it to build Xposed2Jesus.

What We Believe (Statement of Faith)

Who Xposed2Jesus is…

In the past several years I’ve had the awesome opportunity to speak at many youth retreats, camps, churches and youth conferences throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. But God has used my wife and several close friends to push (encourage) me to pursue a more devoted and driven speaking (preaching) ministry. “The Lord has blessed Brian Ford with a spiritual gift that is totally amazing. He engages young people from the start, challenges them to strengthen their relationship for Christ, and equips them with tools to witness to their unsaved friends.” This statement from a youth worker humbled and blessed me and was just one more tool God was using to create Xposed2Jesus.

Xposed2Jesus is also comprised of a team of people dedicated to serving God, exposing students to Jesus and equipping them to live out their faith by making disciples that make disciples. Each crew member has been carefully hand picked to accomplish the mission of X2J.

What Xposed2Jesus IS…

We are devoted to equipping students to live for Jesus, THE Cause. We believe students should be taught how to follow Jesus, and why following Jesus is important. We believe students want and need to be exposed to biblical truth and theology to develop and strengthen their faith. It is also our goal to equip them to share their faith, spreading the cause of Christ with others in their community and schools.

Our X2J crew is devoted to writing content geared for students while Brian Ford; X2J Founder provides general content to equip youth workers AND students. His background as a youth pastor and camp ministry program director has given him the ability to communicate through his heart that impacts lives.

This will be accomplished through the relevant preaching of the gospel message and equipping students to make disciples that make disciples. Our methods will be through the following main areas:

- Youth Events, conferences, camps, and concerts, and training events

- Through written material on our website.

Xposed2Jesus is for students. Our goal is to have a place for students to find answers to the tough questions in life. A place where they won’t be ashamed to open up, share and ask. and a place they can be encourage and equipped to live and share THE Cause.

Students need to be exposed to:

• The truth of the Gospel in a way that is relevant to their life, circumstances and culture. – Acts 20:20
• The freedom Jesus offers – Romans 8:1-2
• The life Jesus offers – Romans 8:3-4
• The love they can experience from Jesus – 1 John 1:9

Our world today is filled with many good and worthy causes, but the cause that consumed Jesus is the ultimate cause! His cause is THE Cause… to make disciples who make disciples.

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost” (Luke 19:10).
