The Harvest is Plentiful, But the Laborers are Few
In Matthew 9 Jesus tells us that the global harvest is plentiful! The barrier with world missions is not that the message lacks power, but that the fields lack laborers. Moreover, not only is the college campus ripe on its own for evangelism, but it is ripe for the purpose of raising up laborers for the ends of the earth knowing Jesus as king!
Our global ministry partners serving on college campuses are seeking to be laborers who raise up laborers. College ministry is unique in that it is already by design a launching pad for students who not only come from a diversity of backgrounds, but also a diversity of ethnicities and nationalities. For this reason, and many others, it is a strategic place for PCC to invest in order to reach the world with the gospel of grace.
Please join us for our College Ministry focused Global Ministry Conference. Come learn how you can be a part of raising up laborers on the campus for the lost world! We have been praying for this conference, that it would be a time where our hearts are stirred for what God is doing locally and what He can and will do through these students as they are launched from the campus into the nations.
**P.S. Don’t forget to be a part of our “100 Cups of Coffee” initiative!

100 Cups of Coffee
(throughout the conference)
College students love coffee, and we want to encourage our laborers in their ministry by helping them pay for a classmate’s cup specifically to have an extended gospel conversation with them! Throughout the conference, we want to invite you to help us spread the gospel at Christopher Newport University and Virginia Commonwealth University by participating in “100 Cups of Coffee.” Through this initiative, congregants can participate in the following ways:
First - visit PCC's Online Giving page to purchase one or more $10 gospel conversations (look for 100 Cups of Coffee under the Special Projects / Other Gifts heading). The money will be used to purchase $10 gift cards to Panera Bread Co. and/or Starbucks (across from campus), which will then be given to a ministry student-leader who will then use it to treat a campus-mate to coffee for the purposes of having an evangelistic gospel conversation.
Second - throughout the semester, commit to praying for the particular conversation(s) you purchased! The scriptures tell us that not only are the fields white for harvest, but furthermore that the feet of those who preach are beautiful in God’s sight (Rom. 8:15), and that God’s word does not return void (Is. 55:11)! Claim his promises on behalf of our students in intercession! The Lord hears our prayers and is pleased to invite us into this crucial evangelistic work!
For any question about the “100 Cups of Coffee” initiative, please contact Edward Murray at emurray@pencomchap.com.

About Global Ministry at PCC
Global Ministry Team
Because we believe so deeply in God calling us to global ministry, especially in the unreached areas of the world, PCC’s Global Ministry Team strives to educate, motivate and equip our congregation to play a part in what God is doing on a global scale. We oversee the sending and supporting of our Global Ministry Partners and our annual short-term trips. Our Global Ministry Team includes Abby Brocklesby, Carol Bryant, Charlie Carmichael (Chair), Hannah Wissmann, Jenny Kinter, Mark Shaw, Garrett Spitz (Pastor of Global Ministry) and Will Newcomb.
Global Ministry Task Forces
Our Global Ministry Task Forces exist to help focus the congregation of PCC on what God is calling the church to do to establish and strengthen local churches among unreached people groups around the world. We have three task forces with this specific focus, including the Central Asia Task Force, the Kenya Task Force, and the M-People Advocacy Team. We also have a separate team focused more broadly on providing care for all our Global Ministry Partners. We also have a Friends of Refugees task force that helps us to love and serve local refugees.
Global Ministry Partners & Advocates
Global Ministry Partners are people that we formally send out to engage in intentional vocational ministry. There are two classifications of Global Ministry Partners: Associate and Primary. Primary Global Ministry Partners receive greater levels of support from PCC and submit to more significant levels of accountability. We currently support 44 Global Ministry Partners who are doing ministry in over 13 different countries spread across 6 continental regions. Half are Primary and half are Associate. Every Global Ministry Partner has an official Advocate here at PCC who serves as a vital link between the congregation and the Global Ministry Partner whether they are on the other side of the world or here locally. Due to security reasons, not all of our Global Ministry Partners can be featured on the website or in paper publications.
