Taylor Roush first connected with CMF Globalscope on a short-term trip to the El Pozo campus ministry in Puebla, Mexico, and knew that the awesome community she found there was “what I wanted my life to look like!”
“College ministry changed everything for me,” says Joseph Hoffman. Now he and his wife Lizzie are part of a team that will help create a place where students from all over the world can connect with God, develop community and find meaning in their lives.
Greg and Eli Klass grew up thousands of miles apart, but the Christian influences in their young lives led both of them to the Globalscope El Oasis campus ministry in Santiago, Chile. That’s where they met, married, and now serve together. They recently stopped by our home office for a visit and shared a little about how it happened, how it works, and the amazing new thing they will be doing together.
Although they are spread out over three different countries, the CMF Globalscope campus ministers in Uruguay, Chile and Mexico share a common language and similar context and mission. The idea of getting together to share dreams and ideas that has been on the back burner for a couple of years finally gelled into the first-ever Latinscope in Lima, Peru, in early February.
Campus ministry “wasn’t on my radar at all” says Canvas Nottingham team leader Christine Barber, who was studying to be a teacher. Then a trusted friend suggested she try a semester as an exchange intern with the Globalscope campus ministry in Birmingham, England.
Allison previously served as an exchange intern with this ministry in Santiago and now she can’t wait to go back long-term to use her degree in Spanish and enjoy the relational, open and welcoming culture of Chile. She also hopes to share her love of rock-climbing with students and draw them into the El Oasis Christian community.
Sydnie’s beautiful smile will brighten your day as you hear why she plans to go to Montevideo, Uruguay, to serve as a campus minister.
The end-of-year banquet at the Globalscope El Oasis campus ministry in Santiago, Chile, honored 20 graduates from the ministry, but also included a send-off for the team that will plant a new El Oasis community in 2020.
Auburn University graduate Katie McCall heard a lot about Globalscope during her campus ministry years, so when she decided to serve overseas, she naturally turned to CMF.
When a trusted mentor told KK Johnson that Globalscope would be “KK-friendly,” she jumped at the chance to affiliate with CMF and return to her beloved Thailand and the Grapevine campus ministry. KK can’t wait to share the gospel with Thai friends in a loving, relational way. Enjoy her enthusiastic and touching video below.
