INTERNATIONAL CAMPUS MINISTER
Campus ministers make up the team that fuels each Globalscope international campus ministry. These men and women get to spend days and nights with university students, pointing them to Christ and enjoying the experience along the way. Each campus minister has his or her own set of responsibilities on the team, which could be as simple as keeping the campus house clean to personally discipling student leaders. Campus ministers learn the local language, observe the culture, engage in appropriate lifestyle in the community, and invest themselves in ministry and in individuals. The goal is to help students grow in Christ and become part of a warm and welcoming community for other students.

Bangkok, Thailand
Just off the Thammasat University campus, the Grapevine opens its doors to Thai students for fun and friendship. Team members Greg & Allison Coley, Andy & Jen May, Michal Ruth Penwell, and exchange students from the US share the Gospel through their lives by spending time with Thai Buddhist students, getting to know them and letting them get to know Jesus through their lives. Mondays, FOC (Fun on Campus) means games and brownies on campus. Grape Jam is the Tuesday night dinner and music event. On Wednesday evenings, Café English provides an English activity and dinner afterward. Grape Seed is the Thursday night meeting at the market on campus, finding a quiet place to worship, pray, and have a devotion from the life and ministry of Jesus. Friday mornings the Grapevine community visits a local orphanage, then has FRUNCH (Friday lunch together on campus) to connect with friends before the weekend. And, there is always time for sports and just to hang out ... always pointing students to Jesus Christ.

Santiago, Chile
For university students all around Chile’s capital, El Oasis is the place to be almost any day of the week. Mark Jackson and Heather Pearce are the campus ministers for this 4-year-old outreach, teamed with interns and US exchange students. Six new members will join the team in 2007 to take El Oasis-Chile to the next level. The El Oasis campus house hosts Monday Night Devotional Dinner and Thursday Night Bible Study, worship, karaoke, fun with friends, community outreach, and opportunities for prayer.

Puebla, Mexico
At la casa verde (the green house), la UDLA university students come to hang out or join the Thursday night dinner and Bible study ... or any number of activities planned just for them. Nathan & Erin McDade, Matt & Angie Stryker, Sarah Powell, Corrie Cope, Cody Spencer, Mikell West, and Wess Willis serve as the campus ministers. You’ll also find exchange students from US colleges and universities making friends on campus and joining in the activities. Called El Pozo (the well), this campus ministry provides community for students so they will develop a relationship with Jesus Christ and grow in their faith.

Salamanca, Spain
Only 2 years old, En Vivo (Live!) attracts hundreds of students from the university campus to fun activities and life-changing Bible studies, almost always with food. Chris Beirne and Jeremy Lawler actually live in the campus house, so that they are available practically 24/7. Students also find Jesse & Sophie Bentley and Cheryl Johnson ready to spend time with them. American exchange students join the team each semester to meet new students and draw them into the En Vivo community. For this school year they have also welcomed their first interns. The team hosts a weekly dinner and Bible study, holds retreats, plans fellowship and social activities, offers Café Inglés, leads individual and small group Bible studies and discipleship meetings. It’s all designed to challenge the students’ faith in Jesus Christ, as well as plug them into the community and introduce them to fellow students they may not otherwise meet.

Mexico City, Mexico
This ministry -- CMF-Globalscope’s first -- is being restructured and revitalized toward a grand re-opening. More information to come.
