The needs in our world compel us to launch out beyond our community. Here are some of our current priorities in global outreach:
Are you feeling called to MISSIONS?
University Carillon has built relationships with several missionaries and ministries throughout the world – including the Bahamas, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Rwanda, and Kenya. We are currently involved at several locations in the Dominican Republic and in Cuba, but always looking for God’s calling. Is God calling you? If so, come join us.
Please pray for members of our church–and others who are ministering alongside us or in our name—on these trips:
This summer University Carillon and Living Hope Church will be sending over 20 young adult volunteers to the Dominican Republic to aid the Holistically Missional efforts of Rich Sucher Ministries.
They’re collecting supplies to help with the programs and courses that the Sucher Ministries help support/run. You can donate any of the supplies below, and the team will bring it the Dominican Republic with them in July. Thank you!

Rick has been a missionary since 1999 serving first in the Philippines and now in the Dominican Republic. After his wife passed away after being married for 35 years and five beautiful children, he was blessed by God in 2022 to have Cindy come into his life. From the very beginning the heart of their ministry has been to work with pastors strengthening their churches, and assisting them in establishing outreach ministries. They have four main focuses- discipleship and nutrition programs for over 250 children on a weekly basis, establishing accredited Bible schools within their partnering churches to raise up future leaders and pastors, overseeing occupational training programs so that graduates can start their own businesses and or find better paying jobs, and lastly hosting mission teams to help impact the ministries of our church partners and impact the lives of those that come down to serve with us.
We send missions teams to work with the Suchers about once a year.
We send teams as often as possible to minister alongside three “sister churches” in the Holguin province of Cuba.
Through our budget, University Carillon supports the following full-time missionaries:
Joan Tungseth: (along with her Cru Prayer Team) seeks to be a prayer covering over our Global Leaders and their teams in order for them to accomplish our global mission of helping to fulfill the Great Commission. We seek to pray strategically for critical prayer needs of our global movement to help win people to Christ, build them in their faith and send them out to do the same (win, build & send others) in order to see God’s Kingdom built on the earth!
Rich and Ruthie Wiewiora have been serving Jesus Christ through Cru® for over 47 years in the U.S. and overseas. They help build up Christ followers, particularly in the context of small groups and meeting one on one to ground them in knowing and living out God’s Word. In addition, Rich uses his copy-editing skills at Cru’s world headquarters in Orlando, FL, to report on what God is doing through people around the globe, and to encourage and equip others in their journey with God and in their loving witness to others.
Mike and Michelle Chapman have served with Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) for over 40 years, Mike and Michelle currently serve at Cru’s international headquarters. Mike works as a missionary journalist/writer for various ministry publications and also does prison ministry two days a week. Michelle is on Cru’s corporate events team, hosting 9-10 events and outreaches a year both to encourage the 1000 Cru staff who work there, and also reach the community with the Good News of Jesus.
James is working as part of a Business as Mission (BAM) Team in the Middle East. His team works as an incubator of new ideas and BAM projects in the country, as well as the region. We are working alongside a church plant in our city, discipling believers and equipping them to live out their faith, building the kingdom of God through our cafe and coffee roasting business and exporting business.
Barrett and Dayna Brown: Dayna serves as the nurse at our staff conferences, and volunteers at a free clinic for the uninsured (during non-covid times). Currently Barrett serves under the leadership of our CFO to come alongside ministry leaders to help them tie their work to a strong strategic direction. We work on team effectiveness, leadership development, and resource development. We work to help different ministries in Cru increase their effectiveness in bringing the gospel to the lost.
Mike and Amy Whipple: The Whipples are serving with the campus ministry of Cru. Currently Mike serves as a National Director helping with Strategic Partnering and Evangelistic Initiatives. Much of our time is spent in efforts to mobilize young people in their relationship with God and into His mission here at home and abroad. Our motivating passion is to mobilize the next generation in their faith and equip them for a lifetime of serving and sharing Christ.
