Community Ministries and Missions Involvement Services Combine This Fall to Form Global Outreach Two historically distinct Christian ministry groups at Cedarville have combined to form one department with a common vision— student-powered advancement of the Great Commission. Community Ministries andMissions Involvement Services (MIS) merged this fall to become Global Outreach. “Whether it was across the street or around the world, these two departments had the same vision — to live and share the Gospel with everyone, everywhere,” said Jim Cato ’83, Associate Vice President of Christian Ministries. Global Outreach (Local) will help students reach their neighbors through churches, community outreach teams, and spring break teams using their resources, life experiences, talents, and time. Global Outreach (International) will send teams around the world to proclaim the Gospel to the nations and experience missions firsthand. During spring and summer breaks, hundreds of students will assist missionaries while discerning God’s direction in their own lives. The new department will be headed by Brian Nester, former MIS director. “Brian was a missionary in Hungary,” Cato said. “With his experience in world evangelism, and his passion for reaching the lost, it made sense for him to head this new department.” Keith Holcomb will serve as Assistant Director. He recently worked at California Baptist University where he recruited and trained students for ministry. He’ll be continuing in that role at Cedarville. Vicky Hines, who had worked in ChristianMinistries for 11 years, will serve as Global Outreach Ministr y Coordinator. Ellen Hanson will serve as the administrative assistant for the department. “Through numerous changes over the years, the heartbeat of ministry has stayed the same,” Cato said. “Our desire is to see students deepen their understanding of what it means to know, live, and share the Gospel.” Upcoming Events January 6–8 Missions Conference 23–24 CU LEADership Conference 29–31 Winter Play: Fiddler on the Roof 30–31 Worship 4:24 Conference February 6–7 Li’l Sibs Weekend 6–8 Winter Play: Fiddler on the Roof 13–14 Music Showcase 16 CU Friday* March 12 Freedom to Flourish Conference 13 All-Access Orientation (for accepted students) 19–29 Spring Play: Doubt 27 CU Friday 27 Pops Concert April 10 All-Access Orientation (for accepted students) 13 Academic Honors Day May 2 119th Annual Commencement *CU Friday on Presidents Day cedarville.edu/events R e - T w e e t s T w e e t T w e e t T w e e t Kassie Baumann @KassieLauren15 · Oct 23 Been thinking a lot about college lately & @cedarville is at the top of my list for sure! #decisions #dream #college Jordan Esatto @hope_notfear · Oct 10 Religion is integral to us as human beings.
