MCCC Open Chapel
On the last Friday of May before they started their campus ministry, the Mongolia mission team from KCCC was invited to join in MCCC’s last joint worship of the academic year. The worship was hosted at a local church behind the Ulanbaataar University campus, and students of seven college campuses were present.
The event was supervised by MCCC (Campus Life) staff. Unlike American or Korean worship, the Mongolian Christians began their worship by playing games in large groups of students from different campuses. The purpose of such activity was to bring students from different schools together as one united body in Christ. New comers were welcomed with cheers and applause and old friends were welcomed back.
This day, the members of Campus Life sent off their own summer mission teams who will be heading to the Mongolian countryside, neighboring cities and abroad, including Inner Mongolia in China. They even had the privilege of sending off their first STINTer, or one-year-missionary to Inner Mongolia to build new spiritual leaders and Christian movement in the area.
Besides the KCCC LA mission team, another mission team from the United States was present to worship God with Campus Life. A mission team from Nations, the Cru (CCC International)’s native American ministry, was also there to organize their own mission program.
Cru was founded in 1951 at UCLA by Dr. Bill Bright and his wife Vonette after he received a calling from God to start a Christian ministry to win build and send college students as the next generation of spiritual leaders. In 1958, only three years after the Korean War, Dr. Jun-gon Kim, after meeting Dr. Bright in America founded Korea Campus Crusade for Christ in Gwangju, and became Cru’s first overseas branch.
Campus Life, the Mongolian CCC was pioneered by American staff and missionaries in 1994, and is actively building movements in their country up to this day.
