Glorifying God by Building Laborers on the Campus for the Lost World.

Bob worked with Campus Outreach in Birmingham for 5 years prior to Bob and Courtney moving to Thailand in 2011. They began ministry in Thailand at Khon Kaen University where Bob worked with Engineering students and Courtney worked with students who studied Humanities. In the last two years, they have had the privilege of seeing a few students come to Christ while learning about sharing the Gospel and discipling students cross-culturally.

McGregors in Ministry

Their next stage of ministry will be with a new expansion team in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where they will continue to labor on the college campus. With this move, Bob will take on new responsibili-ties as the Campus Director which include leading micro and macro ministry events and continuing to evangelize and disciple students on the college campus.

C O C H I A N G M A I God has always given the staff of Campus Outreach the passion to expand His kingdom. As God has blessed the ministry in Khon Kaen, the team has been lead to launch a new CO ministry in the North of Thailand. With 18 provinces comprising this region, there are well over 150,000 college students in this area with the majority of them living in Chiang Mai - the key city in this region. The expansion team will land there in August 2013.

Why Chiang Mai:U� 2nd largest city in Thailand with 1 million peopleU� 5 universities within a 10 minute drive from the city center ° Chiang Mai University ° MaeJo University ° Payap University ° Chiang Mai Teaching University ° Far Eastern UniversityU� 80,000+ college students at these 5 universities with whom we

can partner.

Chiang Mai has the highest per-centage of believers in the country of Thailand, still only 3%. Our hope is that those we share Christ with will have a better understanding of how they can be fully Thai and a follower of Christ. 7i�>Ài�>�Ã��V����ÌÌi`�Ì��w�`��}�/�>��churches with whom we can partner.

Glorifying God The ultimate purpose of God and all His creation is to bring attention to God or to glorify Him forever (Is. 43, Ps. 33 &115, Rom. 1 & 8, Eph. 1, Rev. 5). Because there is nothing and no one more valuable or important than God Himself, Campus Outreach exists that He may continually receive what He deserves and what is due to him - praise, honor, and }��ÀÞ�vÀ���ÕÃ�>Ã�Üi�w�`��ÕÀ���Þ�������

Building Laborers Jesus Christ once said, as he observed a large crowd of people, “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few” (Matt. 9:37). It is the desire of Campus Outreach to work hand-in-hand with colleges, universities, churches, families and individuals to produce Kingdom leaders and laborers for which there is such a desperate need.

On the Campus Campus Outreach believes that the university campus is one of the ��ÃÌ�ÃÌÀ>Ìi}�V�wi�`Ã��v�����ÃÌÀÞ�>Û>��>L�i����Ì�i�Ü�À�`°

For the Lost World Campus Outreach desires to be a part of the expansive enter-prise of the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Glory of God that is being lived, preached and spread around the world to every people, tribe, tongue and nation (Matt. 28:18-20, Mk. 13, Rev. 5).

VA L U E SCompelled by the Love of God...Committed to Following Hard After Christ (2 Cor. 5:14-15) We value God’s love as the compelling motivation of our lives and believe that a true experience of His love leads to following Christ and no longer living for self.

Believing God’s Promises...Praying for God’s Action (2 Peter 1:3-4, Matt. 9:37-38) We rely on God’s faithfulness to His promises. Therefore, we value prayer. We believe that through praying as Jesus command-i`]�Üi�Ü����Ãii���`�Ü�À�����>�>â��}�vÕ�w���i�Ì��v���Ã�«À���Ãið

Developing Leaders (Mk. 10:43-45) Just as Jesus did, we value the development of leaders. Leaders are those who, in the power of the Spirit, seek to lay down their ��ÛiÃ�v�À�Ì�i�Li�iwÌ��v��Ì�iÀð

Growing through Multiplication (2 Tim. 2:1-2) We value the example of ministry through multiplication that is repeated over-and-over in Scripture.

Reaching the Lost (Lk. 19:10) We value taking the Gospel to those who have not yet respond-ed to Jesus’ offer of salvation.

Contact Info: We feel both humbled and privileged that God would allow us to labor for the sake of His name and His Gospel in Thailand. We are thankful that God calls others to share in this work with us, support-��}�ÕÃ�w�>�V�>��Þ�>�`�«À>ÞiÀvÕ��Þ�>�`�through encouragement. Thank you for serving alongside us and with us in the work of reaching Thais for Christ. Without your partnership, we would never have this great oppor-tunity of taking the Gospel to the ends of the Earth.
