New field opens in Germany
After several years of planning, CMF Globalscope opened a new field in late September with the arrival of Beth Jarvis and Chris and Stef Coleman in Tuebingen, Germany.
The three will spend their first months in Germany studying at the Goethe Institute, an intensive language school, and interacting with German people and culture. After the class work is completed, they will begin their ministry to students at the University of Tuebingen, a prestigious, well-known university. Their plans include completing some renovations on a building that they are sharing with the European Evangelistic Society so they can open a campus house. The house will serve as a base for getting together with students, holding Bible studies, starting small groups and building relationships.
Beth Jarvis, 27, is the team leader. Beth is a graduate of Atlanta Christian College and recently completed her master’s degree at Emmanuel School of Religion, Johnson City, Tenn. Chris Coleman, 25, graduated from Georgia Tech and his wife, Stef , 23, is a graduate of Agnes Scott College. The Colemans spent one year in classes at Emmanuel School of Religion. The three will be joined soon by an additional three teammates: Chandler Creel, who plans to leave in 2-3 weeks; Tyler Crawford and Lindsay Hunter, who are still raising support.
