The Great Commission tells us to “Go and make disciples of all
nations” and Bryan and Cecile are convinced that there is no better
way to reach the nations than to reach and disciple international
students right here on our American university campuses.
Bryan (at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln) and Cecile (in the
Philippines) both experienced the incredible impact of college ministry
through Chi Alpha during their college years and later met through their
service to the ministry. Over the past 16 years, God has blessed them with a
beautiful family and a powerful ministry to international students where
they’ve discipled students from nearly every corner of the world.
“We have learned that no matter where someone is from—each
person has a need to be significant. They desire to be loved, to
belong, and to have purpose. We believe God’s purpose for each
of us is to experience His salvation and share this great news to
others!” – Bryan and Cecile Ames
The world is at our door step and we need your help!
Over a million international students, our world’s future
leaders, are studying on our American campuses. They
are paying their own way to come to the U.S., they are
learning English, and they want to make American friends
during their stay.
Jesus shared in Matthew 9:37 that the “The harvest is plentiful but the
workers are few” and the Ames are ready and eager to go to work for
the Kingdom! They have been given the incredible opportunity and calling
by God to join the Chi Alpha team in Richmond, VA, but they can’t do it
alone. With your help, they will have direct access to reach 101 nations at
Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA.
“This was the best year of my life!” --Hindu student who became a Christian
Upon his return to India, he said, "I'm sharing my testimony with anyone who will listen."
Yes, I want to partner with the Ames to reconcile international students to Christ!
