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.”
