The greater metro Chicago area is home to over 9 million people including approx. 2000 people groups and over 200 languages spoken. Evangelical churches claim only 5.5% of the population (only 1% SBC). Of Chicago's 50,000+ college students, nearly 98% are unengaged by any evangelical presence. With the help of field partners and church planters in Chicago, students will engage in witnessing, service projects, and various other ministry opportunities through a variety of ministry settings and cultural dynamics.

Dr. Ashford would like to invite you to take a mission trip with him to East Asia. This six credit hour trip is designed to be "half on your seat, half on your feet." In the mornings, Dr. Ashford will teach you about Buddhism and Folk Religion. In the afternoon, you will do ethnographic interviews with those whom you meet in the city. In the process of doing the interviews, you will make friendships and learn to share the gospel in an East Asian context. We pray that we will see many of these folks come to Christ, and maybe even see the first seeds of a church plant as a result of our witness. In addition, we'll have a chance to hang out and will have a lot of fun! Greg Mathias, associate director of the CGCS, will co-lead the trip with Dr. Ashford. Contact Sarah McCartney (smccartney@sebts.edu) for further information.
