GLOBAL OUTREACH

The Global Outreach Team (GO Team) consists of those congregants who desire to serve the needs of international individuals and organizations in order to advance God’ s Kingdom on Earth both abroad and at home in the Chapel Hill area. Through prayer and discussions, we have arrived at a threefold ministry. One ministry will be to establish a relationship with a church in Rwanda which was interrupted by the COVID pandemic. Another ministry is to serve internationals in our midst, both students and visiting scholars from other countries. We are partnering with two established international student ministries on UNC’s campus, International Friends and Intervarsity Global Community. Developing friendships with internationals, hosting dinners at the NC Study Center, and going on hikes are a few of the activities we will be undertaking. A third ministry will be prayer and encouragement for individuals and organizations involved in international missions such as Compassion International.

In order to build community and offer prayers related to the above ministries the GO Team, and any interested individuals, will meet for soup and prayer on a monthly basis beginning sometime this fall. We will also highlight international prayer needs through the “News and Needs” with a monthly spotlight on international missions needs.

Please feel free to participate in any of these three ministries related to internationals. Don Tyndall is the Chair of the Team and can be reached at dtyndallunc@gmail.com.
