Ep #266 – Heart for the Unseen — Jessica Croner’s Journey to Street Reach

Our Community, Our Mission

In this episode of Our Community, Our Mission, Jessica Croner shares how her heart for the unsheltered has guided her through years of ministry — from the Boise Rescue Mission to the Valley Mission in Pocatello, Idaho, and now as Director of Street Reach. A pivotal encounter at a Citygate Conference introduced her to TRM and the Street Reach and MAP model, which she brought back to Idaho and launched as quickly as possible. Driven by a deep sense of calling and a desire that began in childhood for everyone to know Jesus, Jessica has continually followed where the Holy Spirit leads — even when it’s uncomfortable.

Jessica speaks openly about how her walk with God sustains her through challenging moments. She reflects on the thin veil between her own story and those she serves, and how temporary discomfort is often part of God’s greater plan. For her, this work is not a job — it’s a calling. She encourages the Church to step boldly into its mission, trusting that God is calling His people back to what they were never meant to let go of. This episode is a powerful reminder that when we cast our nets wide, God meets us in the deep.
