Lynn and Carol Stringfellow are now serving as Directors of Ministry Advancement for Campus Ministry United. They are passionately pioneering the vision of campus ministries expanding all over the United States. They realize the need to reach peoples’ hearts with the gospel at the most pivotal time in a lifetime. They also realize the potential for global influence in campus ministry from the international environment at universities. Lynn and Carol experienced this need through the campus ministry in Tampa, Florida for the past 11 years. They started small and believed wholeheartedly in the Great Commission’s instruction to "Go" to the students at the University of South Florida. The ministry in Tampa witnessed young peoples’ lives being changed, both through conversion to the gospel and conviction with a Biblical purpose. Lynn and Carol have relocate to Tulsa, Ok under the supervision of the Park Plaza Church of Christ to continue this vision. Contact with this couple can be made through campusministryunited.com and stringfellow1@juno.com.

about changing my mentality?(1:34)

going to look as I make a shift from focusing internally to focusing
externally? (13:37)

about starting a new campus ministry in North Florida or other locations where the ICOC has

events that occur within our church that are not specifically related

campus ministry? (8:33)
10.Are we simply
entertaining our students in our existing campus ministries instead of
teaching them to reach out? (9:28)

planting because of the endeavors in the past that
