 Global Teams Newsletter
Our Vision
To see the heart of Christ in the skin of every culture.
Our Mission
To catalyze movements among the unreached that reflect the character of Christ, transform people and cultures, and reproduce more movements.
We accomplish this as we work within the worldwide Body of Christ to mobilize and empower multicultural teams of missionaries who will pioneer among the unreached, mobilize other missionaries, and care for each other.
Over the years Kevin has served God in a number of different areas, including, but not limited to, youth pastor, Episcopal Priest, small business owner, church planter, overseas missionary, and even as a hamburger flipper.
Involved with Global Teams as a missionary since 1990, Kevin developed a work in a majority Muslim country that has resulted in creative evangelism among eight language groups and emerging people movements in four of those. Kevin now serves as Executive Director responsible to the board for leading Global Teams, recruiting missionaries, training, and raising funds for both his own ministry and for the organization.
Kevin serves Global Teams with his wife and ministry partner, Susan. They have three daughters, Rachel, Sarah, and Emma. The Higgins family is based in Bakersfield, California. View the Global Teams website here.

Sikha's Latest Newsletter
Ivan and Felicita Sikha are from India. They worked in India for over 20 years with Campus Crusade for Christ and later moved to Southeast Asia where they gave leadership to the CCC ministry in 10 countries and the International School of Theology.

They presently work as Strategy and Training Consultants for StoryRunners, (www.storyrunners.com) a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ to reach Unreached People Groups and start Church Planting movements. Their work involves training Church Planters to use Bible Stories to share the gospel with people from Oral Cultures who use Stories, Song, Poetry and Drama to communicate. Bible Stories are also recorded on MP3 players and distributed among language groups that do not have a Bible translation.
The Sikhas have 2 grown sons who live in Bangalore, India.
Ivan and Felicita are making plans to start working among the Unreached People Groups in the Garhwal region. They are working with area pastors to have a week-long training in Chronological Bible Storying. This training will equip them to use stories and share the gosel with people of these unreached groups.

Currently in Battambang, Cambodia!
We have arrived in Asia! After a long two days of travel we arrived in Bangkok, Thailand. It felt so great to be back in Thailand! We were last here in January 2007, when we lead our first DTS outreach team. These nations have such a special place in our heart and vision that it's felt a little like coming home.
Next, we headed across the country by bus, and walked across the border into Cambodia! Currently, we're in the largest northwestern province in the nation, known as Battambang.
We are staying that the University of the Nations base here in Battambang, and enjoying participating in the base activities and getting a general feel for how our DTS teams from Kona can be effective and fruitful in the city. The base here truly is amazing, with many diverse ministries and involvement in many different streams of society. Currently, there is also a DTS (Discipleship Training School) running with 20 local students as well as a SBS (School of Biblical Studies), which is a 9 month program.
In the next few days we will have the privilege to participate and see first hand many of the different opportunities that our teams with have to serve in during their outreaches and time here. This includes, a local business, Cafe Eden, a bustling Youth Center (where literally hundreds of students come every afternoon to be taught English, music, computer studies and other specialized classes, Village ministry and church planting, orphanages and children and risk homes.
To learn more about the base and ministry here, check out their website @ www.uofnbattambang.com
Lastly, THANK YOU for all your prayers while we've been gone already! We have truly seen the hand of the Lord as we've traveled! There's been such a supernatural covering and grace, specifically over Alissa's health as we've been here! It's been quite amazing and we have felt your covering from back home!
Looking forward to posting pictures, videos and more information in the coming days. Love, G&A
Rich and Kourtney Street
Global Campus Team
Street Newsletter
Rich and Kourtney are members of the Global Campus Team. The goal of this team is to help build student led spiritual movements for Jesus Christ everywhere. Serving as the Director of Online Strategies, Rich's goal is to develop worldwide virtual student movements on the internet. Part of that role is to help countries around the world develop a campus internet strategy. That is, to win, build, train and send students on the web. With students spending an average of 25 hours a week on the internet, engaging students virtually is now more important than ever. The fundamental site that Campus Crusade uses for the win portion of the internet strategy is a web site called everystudent.com.
As of this writing, the website is available in 23 different languages with more in production. Last school year (2006-2007) over 6.4 million students came to one of these websites with 93,800 indicating a decision to accept Jesus Christ in their life! View a student's testimony about how she became a Believer through the everystudent.com strategy.
While coordinating the campus ministry in North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, Rich was able to pioneer the launch of various websites to engage the hearts of students in North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. These sites (we can't name them here for security reasons) are leading over 1500 students a month to the Lord.
