Farnsworth to Move to Tallahassee

Congratulations to Adam & Crystal Farnsworth!



The Farnsworths, die hard Gator fans, have been hired to take over the campus ministry serving The Florida State University Seminoles through the Meridian Woods Church of Christ.

Adam & Crystal both came to Christ as teens while attending the Bay Area Church of Christ in Tampa, FL, and were later heavily involved in Christians In Action - the Bay Area Church's campus ministry serving the University of South Florida. Adam is also a graduate of Harding University's Center for Advanced Ministry Training located in Searcy, AR.


2009 CMU Workshop Another Record-Breaker


The 2009 CMU workshop was a hit! Every year this event has grown, and 2009 was no exception - all previous attendance records were broken. Worship was on fire, great lessons were shared, much learning and growth took place, and the company was great!

Here's a 30-second clip of our worship service opening night:



The feedback we got on workshop evaluation forms on Saturday night indicated 2009 has been the best year yet in terms of content. To listen to the lessons from the 2009 CMU workshop, check out the CMU audio/video page. Tons of lessons are available from 2009 as well as previous years.

Thanks to everyone who helped make 2009 another successful workshop! 

2010 is already being planned - announcements regarding next year's workshop coming in the future.



2008 Update: CMU Plants Coast to Coast


"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Luke 10:2

The words of Jesus are still true today, and here at CMU we're in the habit of praying for harvesters.

With the world population totalling 6.5 billion, more people are living today than ever before. Tomorrow that number will only increase! Today's universities are grooming the next generation of leaders who are destined to influence every aspect of modern society, and we believe it is God's will that all people be saved (1 Tim. 2:4).

Our goal, quite simply, is to impact global spirituality in the name of Jesus by impacting tomorrow's global leaders through establishing effective campus ministries. These ministries serve as evangelistic outposts on the front lines of culture speaking the message of Jesus Christ in truth and in love. We're not interested in sheltering college students from Satan. On the contrary - we aim to make them dangerous to him and work to claim souls for Christ that Satan would otherwise claim for himself.

We believe we're in a battle, and are pleased to report that since CMU was founded in 2005 three new evangelistic ministries have formed in Miami, FL, Corpus Christi, TX, and San Francisco, CA. Another minister is currently in training preparing to plant in another location (yet to be named).



Meet the Ministry Planters


Orlando & Devrena Henlon - Christians In Action (CIA) - Miami, Florida

Orlando & Devrena currently serve as campus ministers through the Sunset Church of Christ in Miami, FL. The Sunset Church decided to move into the realm of campus ministry and hire a full time campus minister after CMU board member Lynn Stringfellow met with their elders urging them to do so.

To date, Orlando has been on staff with the Sunset church for about two years, and several students are Christians today as a result.

Orlando & Devrena, keep up the good work!


Clint & Kelsey Hill - Christians In Action (CIA) - Corpus Christi, Texas

Clint & Kelsey Hill arrived in Corpus Christi, TX, in June of 2008. Clint's experience in campus ministry began several years ago having studied theology at Eastern New Mexico University while being part of the campus ministry there.

The Hill's are part of a group starting a new, evangelistically focused church targetting the Corpus campus of Texas A & M University.

Several people have given their lives to Jesus just this semester, and no doubt many more will in the future. The Lord is doing amazing things in Corpus!

Wes & Airiel Woodell - Christians In Action (CIA) - San Francisco, California

Wes & Airiel Woodell were both converted to Christ in Tampa, FL, through CIA Tampa. After spending a year in Tampa as a ministry apprentice, Wes & Airiel moved to Searcy, AR, where Wes earned a degree in Bible & Ministry from Harding University.

During their time at Harding, the Woodells were approached by Marvin Crowson, Harding faculty member and director of OutReach America, about an opportunity to plant a campus ministry through a church seeking revival in San Francisco, CA.

The Woodells plan to move to San Francisco in January of '09 to work with the Lake Merced Church of Christ in planting a campus ministry at San Francisco State University. While many individuals and churches are involved in supporting the Woodells financially, their work is officially sponsored and overseen by the Austin Avenue Church of Christ in Brownwood, TX.

For more information on the activities surrounding the ministry plant in San Francisco, please visit the ministry blog: West Coast Witness.


Jeff Keely - Ministry Leader in Training

Jeff Keely has been an active member of CIA Tampa for several years now and formally became a ministry apprentice in July of '08. Jeff is currently being groomed for ministry under the watchful eye of Lynn Stringfellow and other leaders of the Bay Area Church of Christ, and is interested in leading a future CMU campus ministry or campus church plant.
