Bryce Crawford is gaining momentum on social media as a Christian influencer. In many of his accounts, he refers to himself as a “Christian Creator on Social Media.” He also considers himself a missionary and participates in speaking engagements. Social media and Los Angeles, California, are the primary areas where he works to reach people for Christ.
Crawford is connected with EquipNet, which is a 501c3 religious non-profit missionary agency.
According to its website, EquipNet’s mission and purpose are “to connect resources to well-vetted Christian leaders, organizations, and projects around the world that have the capacity to bring the love of Jesus, innovation, and Christian transformation to people in various formative spheres of society.”
Crawford’s heart is to reach people in Los Angeles by striking up conversations with them on the street and telling them about God’s love. According to his Jesus In The Street website, he also “has a passion for people to know who they are in Christ.”
In an Instagram video, Crawford is seen talking to a very misinformed Satanist. The Satanist claims he would have set Jesus on fire rather than crucifying him.
When Crawford asked why, the Satanist said, “Because He’s a witch.”
Crawford responded, “So you said ever since you started worshipping Satan, your life has been better?”
“Yeah, it actually has been better for me,” he said.
“Yeah, I believe it, like in the physical. I believe that Satan would give me the things I want. You know, and there’s a lot of things that I want.
And there’s been times that I’ve prayed to God and asked God for things that I wanted, but that’s not what I needed. And I feel like, as a Christian, when I ask Jesus for stuff when I pray, Jesus protects me from certain stuff because He knows what would harm me and steer me away from Him.
And so I believe, like, it makes total sense that by worshipping Satan, your life feels better, and it feels better in the natural right at this life.
But to me, I was tormented by mental struggles and mental health issues and not having hope for myself. Jesus gave me that hope.”
Then he asked the Satanist if he could pray for him right there on the street, and the Satanist agreed.
In another Instagram video, Crawford talks about how he was on the edge of taking his own life but ended up giving his life to Jesus instead. After that, the Lord eventually led him into full-time ministry.
On his LinkedIn, Crawford says, “I love people and Jesus. I want to KNOW you on a personal level, not just a screen, so let’s grab lunch!”
He also references other social media accounts where people can find him.
Crawford also assists with a House Church that meets every Sunday night and “helped to start and pioneer a Wednesday night gathering” aimed at helping people deepen their relationship with Christ, according to his bio on the EquipNet website.
Los Angeles has a history of Christian revival, and Crawford says he feels it’s an honor to be chosen by the Lord for such a mission.
Crawford also has a podcast in which he talks about various Christian topics.
