Tere had always been devoted to impacting her country by providing education and skills to coming generations. Now as a Christian, Tere urgently longed for the young men and women on these campuses to have a relationship with Jesus. She began to pray that God would send someone to touch lives with personal witness and to present the word of God’s love and grace. Day after day, she persistently claimed her university for Christ.  A special urgency in her prayers came the day that a Buddhist monk swept onto campus. He so enthralled seeking students that a line of them wound throughout the walks of the campus as they waited to ask the monk for his prayers. "Heavenly Father preserve this campus for Jesus," Tere prayed. "Do not let a another religion establish a hold on the student life."

Even as Tere prayed, God was working His answer. The CMF missionaries planting churches in Mexico had observed the tremendous need for ministry on the campuses of Mexico City. The enormous youth population of Mexico City --roughly half of the city 25 million -- pulled at their hearts and minds. This team also prayed and asked God for missionaries for the campuses.

In God’s timing, He began weaving together His answers to Tere and the CMF missionary team, as well as for the Christian graduates of Georgia Tech who were alumni of its Christian Campus Fellowship (CCF). Georgia Tech’s CCF was actively seeking ways for its members to flow from dynamic ministry on that great campus in Atlanta to ministry throughout the world.  When Rick Harper, Director of CCF, and Steve Palich, CMF’s Latin America Coordinator, visited the campuses of Mexico City and met Tere, they believed God was giving CMF and CCF an opportunity to be an answer to prayer.

Over 50% of the world’s population is under 18. The world’s youth are today’s single greatest bloc of unreached peoples. Travel throughout the world and you will see young people laughing, playing, walking together, listening to the same music, watching the same videos, searching for the same fulfillments.  And the goals? To feel attractive, to have a positive future, to understand a belief that will carry them through life.  Young people identify more strongly with young people than with anyone else, irrespective of background.

With this awareness. CMF and CCF forged a partnership to send campus missionaries around the world -- global in its scope -- and called this initiative GLOBALSCOPE.

Beginning in Mexico City in the summer of 2000, the first GLOBALSCOPE team will initiate campus ministry on two university campuses that have a total of 15,000 students. The five campus
missionaries affiliated for this team are each highly qualified, deeply committed men and women. They have been active leaders in campus ministry. Most importantly, their desire to take the hope of Jesus to students is a flame burning clean and bright as they dedicate the early years of their careers to establish campus ministry internationally.

They take a vision of training local leaders to replicate the process, until tomorrow's worldwide leaders are touched by great spiritual revival. They are sharing their vision with other campus ministries around the United States, anticipating a great response to this worldwide answer for God’s Name to be glorified on the world’s campuses.
