Global Outreach

The entire Bible is about mission—God's mission to redeem a sinful humanity—from opening chords struck in the early chapters of Genesis throughout the entire canon, finding its perfect fulfillment and expression in the incarnation, earthly ministry, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. God has always been the God of the nations. That story continues to the last words of Scripture and continues into the present. 

God's people are still called to be connected to His Church locally, but ever pushing outward. While we delight to know of those places where Christians are maturing in the gospel and are thankful that we can be strengthened in the faith in that fellowship of believers, we also long and pray to see that same growth in places that have gone spiritually dormant.

CTK currently supports a number of missionaries around the world, and our hope is that we can provide a level of support that goes beyond financial: to pray and encourage these men and women who are on the frontier of Kingdom work. Our Overseas Partner Liaison is Morgan Crago. She communicates with our partners in ministry overseas, receiving their correspondence, and delivering periodic updates to the congregation. If you have any questions about the missionaries we support or ways you can help, please contact Morgan!


Ministries Supported by CTK Cambridge

Matt & Jenn Irvine (London, UK) The Irvines live in the British South Asian neighborhoods of northwest London where Matt serves as a church planter and team leader alongside local national leaders and partners. Jenn also serves at the church, and she is especially active in the mothers’ group and in prayer walks in the neighborhood. The Irvines and their partners seek to grow and multiply churches that live out and share the good news of Jesus in culturally understandable and meaningful ways.  Their sending organization is Serge, formerly called World Harvest Mission. Matt and Jenn have three children.

Collin & Zury J. (West Africa) Collin and Zury J. are MTW missionaries partnering with Reformed University Fellowship to establish the first RUF ministry on the African continent. They began their work there in October 2019. They are coming alongside the national Presbyterian denomination to serve on a center city church planting team with the purpose of reaching students for Christ (particularly those from unreached people groups) and discipling them toward maturity. Zury formerly worked for RUF in Mexico for 10 years before beginning this work in Africa.

Dana & Sibongile Mahan (Pretoria, South Africa) Dana and Sibongile Mahan work with Ripe for Harvest World Outreach. For over twelve years they have supported the efforts of indigenous initiatives that serve the cause of Christian education across Southern Africa. Dana works at the University of Pretoria, and he established the Life Abundant Fund, which exists to support theological education for ministers who would otherwise have difficulty covering their education. Part of Dana’s work is to review the applications of people interested in being supported. Sibongile is lecturer in the department of education at the University of South Africa and also a board member of Scribe, a non-profit consultancy firm that directs resources toward Life Abundant Fund. The Mahans have two teenaged sons, Owethu and Tumelo.

She keeps CP’s partners and audience informed about the gospel renewal movement taking place in the Chinese house church and organizes prayer initiatives calling for daily prayer for the Chinese church.
